    A podcast’s quality is determined mostly by the time spent with the hosts and how much you enjoy it. These guys are unpleasant to “spend time” with.

  • Pretty good

    I really enjoy this podcast and Talking Simpsons but sometimes they go a little bit to into politics which is annoying but it’s a podcast I am not going to get upset over the fact that they don’t share the same opinions as me
