When I first saw Daniel Sloss’s Netflix special I went on a binge, listened to hours of this podcast and loved it. Thought he was a genius. Muggins and Cream are consistently hilarious and obviously they are very intelligent and witty. I love the way their minds work. I like especially their friendship dynamic, where Sloss has a “let it rip” attitude and Humphries is a subtle and clever manipulator of the conversation.
I gave the podcast a 5 star review but am now downgrading to 4 stars.
This past year the podcast has been hard to listen to because Daniel is tone-deaf when it comes to the biggest feminist issues of our time, the gender critical issue, and also blind to Critical Race Theory extremism. These guys are stuck in a progressive bubble. They call themselves feminists but deny cancel culture exists, complain that it is a boomer issue. I feel like they are too old to be expressing the “don’t trust anyone over 30” sentiment. Sometimes they seem to suffer from arrested development. (Fart jokes, gross discussions.) They think anyone who disagrees with them is a boomer or a conservative (not so).
I would recommend people listen to the older episodes first, especially from the beginning when they were touring, but not the post-lockdown episodes.
