  • 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 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
