Customer Reviews
Slightly pedantic but I keep coming back
Slightly pedantic but I keep coming back - would prefer spoilers so we can get into it. Don’t love the way the male host talks to his guest- but this also seems like a personal diatribe or blog - so it’s on me for listening.
Awful
Wall of words. Take a breath, man. You are going to have a stroke. What a relief a moment of silence for a little bit of thought would be. I don’t know why the co-host puts up with this. Relentlessly boring.
Decent
Smart guy. Seems a bit dismissive, impatient, and condescending to his girlfriend. It throws me off the points he’s making, which are good, cause I keep thinking “this guy’s a jerk”.
