  • They're kind of all the same

    Show got boring for me. Episodes are pretty much the same. Also, it would be cool if Ryan says he doesn't know something rather than making stuff up. It's ok if you don't know everything. I promise.

  • Ryan 2028

    Ryan needs to run as President in 2028. Mark can be his Press Secretary. Jimmy is obviously Ryan's Secretary of Transportation.

    PS: shoutout the Vortex solo monocular line for my fellow members of the astigmatism mafia. I have 4 of them stashed various places so I can quickly glass. (My Left eye terrible, my right eye is 20/20, I wear a contact in my left eye but when I use Binos it never works great. I don't care if I look like a redneck Pirate using a Monocular works for me.)

  • The Best!

    Mark and Ryan are a class act! Not too many people jell as well as these two guys. They really know their stuff, and have a lot of fun talking about it. Not only is it educational but also entertaining. I think it would be fun to hear them answer YouTube comments sometime.
