Customer Reviews
Annoying
Love this pod! But CANNOT stand to listen to Tim Bontemps! So boring and one sided! Very biased
Just admit it.
Bontemps…just admit you love being negative. Tell the truth. You are the living embodiment of “Well actually…” Yawn. You are physically unable to say something nice about one person without taking potshots at another. The absolute antithesis of good time. Also, the movie in question is “Say Anything” not “High Fidelity.” Now I have heard it all. Bontemps complaining that other people won’t let him talk. That is a totlal lack of self awareness.
Yuck. Zach Lowe. Get ready for “No one is talking about…”
Yuck.
Ummm
Can you stop calling him Karl Towns. His name has a dash. Karl-Anthony Towns
