  • Please just one more

    I sadly discovered this podcast about a month after the last episode. Since then I’ve listened back thru them all many times over. It is so good. Please, Michael & Michael, can we have just one more to dip our beaks in and splash around a little? Then maybe piggyback on that for another? Study groups have been working diligently

  • Found through searching for Liz Phair

    You ask her what her definition of music is; she gives you her definition. Then you tell her she’s not correct. I get it was from 2014 but JHC, Michael Showalter and Ian…. what a couple of Richard heads. And you sure are focused on the breast. Very condescending and rude. Phuck boys galore.

    The 1 star is for Liz. Major small Richard energy here.
