Customer Reviews
Incredible
There amazing!
Every time I listen to their interesting facts I learn many new facts that always surprise me. Their podcast are very enjoyable to listen to.
To every 5 STAR reviewer
I HARD AGREE on all points.
To those one star reviewers leaving super mean comments, hey, don’t yuck other peoples yum, alright.
I like will leave my review.
I have listened to this pair for some time. I would , as a rule , rate the episodes 4or 5 stars, until the “like “ episode on the 15th of February.
I have never felt more compelled to review a podcast episode. Absolute drivel, not to mention the insulting way they refer to anyone that dares to think that this word is overused as a filler.
The scenario where the Air Jordan trainers,I believe , were used as a way of shoehorning the multiple uses of the “like” word, was awful.
It is painful and yet hilarious to hear Chuck and Josh explain the many different ways that the same word can be used to mean different things, and don’t get me started on the use of linguistic experts to bolster their arguments. ( Because there has never been an expert that has been right only to be classed as wrong, sometime down the road, eh Sigmund?)
I have to admit, I laughed out loud, to the surprise of my customer I was working for, when Josh mentioned about sexism coming into the equation. That was the cherry on the top!
There is a reason why we have different words for different meanings, because they convey , more accurately, what we mean when speaking. Yet you two proffer the use of one word to convey many different meanings. All this with no difference in intonation, either.
The best part, by which I mean I nearly wet myself laughing, was the verdict that people that repeatedly use the term “like” in the manner you describe, are intelligent and eloquent. Please, listen to yourselves.
It is the antithesis of intelligence.
Sorry guys, but you have completely lost all integrity with the publication of this episode.
I’m out.
