  • Lose the porn

    I enjoy the show. I would rather not have to listen to one of the hosts discuss his porn habit on a podcast that is supposed to be a cooking show recap. That lowered my rating a lot.

  • Sierra putting in all the work

    I only listened to the last season of GBBO. The show had some funny moments and the premise is great, but it’s cringe to hear how little effort Mike and Ify are putting in compared to Sierra.

    I thought the episodes without Ify were the best not because he’s not funny, just because he seems incredibly unengaged in this whole pursuit.

    This feels like a podcast where if they did one... more

  • Lost a listener

    I’ve enjoyed this podcast since day one but can now no longer listen as I feel very unwelcome as a non-POC listener. Baselessly accusing a judge of being racist for not giving a handshake is so wild. I could care less that hosts choose teams based on race or frequently discuss race and politics but this crosses a line that didn’t need to be there.
