Episode 245 is The bomb

I have listened to all 245 episodes of the show and but it doesn’t get better then the 4 of you, (that’s right 4 not the normal 3) all in the same room. Lots of knowledge and many laughs. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the other 244. Thanks for the great Pod!

It’s so boring!

There are a handful of good episodes but generally the show is extremely boring. Too much talk about crap no one cares about and the discussion of listener questions tends to drag on. The cast are clearly very careful not to say anything to upset sponsors and half the time it’s like an infomercial for tools.

Brutal Banter

The topics are interesting and I want to listen however I can’t handle the nauseating banter.
