Customer Reviews
Spontaneous reruns?
These two somehow manage to make tv reruns feel fresh, new and even spontaneous. Great concept for a podcast. Even when the shows are horrible say Gomer Pyle or One Day at a Time there are still laughs and nuggets of trivia to be had. Keep it going fellas.
Best podcast
These guys put on a great show. Every episode is fun and full of humor.
WARNING: Listening to the podcast may cause you to use the greeting “Hello Dere” incessantly.
