  • Used to be some decent stories

    But stories aren’t interesting anymore and the question ones are just boring and stupid. I thought Scott was a dork because of the way he spoke but now it’s just everything about him is dorky (and I’m old)

  • Stop with the Flashback Episodes

    This podcast is fine - some of the stories are interesting, but there are definitely some better podcasts with a similar concept out there. Lately every episode is a boring filler episode or a “flashback episode”. Can’t we find some new content? We don’t want to hear the same stories over and over.
