  • Wonderful

    It’s hard to believe that you can get two people talking about a 2 1/2 minute song for 1 1/2 hours, and have it be entertaining. And yet it is.

  • So great for a TMBG fan

    Greg’s ability to connect with all of his cohosts is a gift. The commentary is fun, thoughtful, informative, spontaneous, and entertaining. I’m very interested in seeing his final scores at the end of the tour.

I’m thankful for all the hard work and creative energy that is poured into the making of each episode. I have only listened to a few so far, but I am sincerely enjoying what I’m hearing. I’m glad... more

  • Best. Theme Song. Ever.

    I have heard a lot of TMBG’s music videos, but that gave me a clear understanding of their theme song for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. #playhousedisneyera
