  • Ryan is too boring to listen too

    Ryan Merkley is so freaking obnoxious to listen too. I love birdman dood but the podcasts are unlistenable whenever Ryan brings his boring low energy to the podcast.

  • Intelligent Discussion

    Love the Star Wars conversations! Great topics. They publish very frequently, so there's no shortage of content. Audio quality could be improved, but overall a great job.
