    This show would be really interesting and enjoyable without the constant mansplaining and pointless interruptions.

  • Great choice of topics and mostly a blast. But I wish *certain guests* didn't interject with mockery of any placename, surname or business name mentioned. He's not funny and it just distracts from the narrative. I'm still on the fairly early episodes so hopefully they realised that for themselves at some point.

  • Won’t bother again

    It possibly would be an interesting show of Dean would just stick a sock in it now and again with his constant interrupting , patronizing comments , mansplaining, dreadfully unwitting comments and pathetic sarcasm

  • Meh… too much know-it-all vibe

    Do you want to know something? Well, this guy will tell you, whether he knows about it or not.

    Too smug for my tastes

    Too much cross talk especially on part of the dude who thinks he’s hilarious. He’s not.
