Strike Force Five

I listen to podcasts on my way to and from work and also had to stop my car on the side of the road multiple times to not cause an accident because I was laughing so hard ❗️

It’s five people who enjoy to talk and love it even more to listen to themselves talk. Consequently they keep interrupting each other which is super chaotic because of the obvious online sound delay that they each have to one another. I also feel the need to warn anyone who thinks listening to this while taking a walk through the city is a nice idea because the thunder sound effect due to Kimmel’s trigger finger had me turning my head in horrific fear of a terrible car accident behind me multiple times. Like I said it’s terribly chaotic, disturbing at times and I love every second of it. Can’t wait for the next episode! Greetings from Cologne, Germany.

… they’re best enjoyed separately. I love each of them, and it’s great when they’re guests on each other’s shows, but as a group they just don’t work for me. Much like Kimmel’s thunderclap (not a euphemism), the boys' club atmosphere went from cute to mildly annoying to irritating in the space of three episodes. In that sense, I can only assume that the collective noun for a group of male late-night hosts is “a thundering”. If anything, this podcast makes it abundantly clear how badly late-night TV needs a female host. (Which I like to think the Strike Force Five would agree with.)
