  • 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.

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

    Too smug for my tastes
