  • Ran it into the ground

    Somebody needs to take that soundboard away from Chris. Hearing the same sound bite 37 times in every since he took over episode is awful. Reparez come back

  • Well things have changed

    I think sobriety would add a lot to the quality of this podcast. Kind of hard to keep a coherent conversation going anymore.

  • Loved this podcast until they decided to try to make the people complaining about the price of Switch 2 games look like assholes. "I don't hear you complaining about the prices of gas and electricity going up." Yeah, I didn't hear you complaining about those things either until you could use it against your listeners. I don't care how you spend your money, but making your audience out to be the assholes is fucked up. And you're all pieces of shit for doing so.
