Customer Reviews
Never Miss an Episode
Thank you Sean, Jason, and Will and all your staff for providing me with so many giggles. All your guests are entertaining, because you bring out the best in them! It’s hard to pick out a favorite, but the George Clooney show was unforgettable.
Extreme leftist politics, too many ads, poor questions, and beating up on Sean
I mean the subject like says it’s all but I’ll expand on this a bit further for those on the fence about the podcast. I have listed to every episode. Everyone. So I feel like I have a good feel on who you or your guests are. It’s evident that they are all of the Hollywood left leaning political ideology as you all. Not only is that apparent but the commentary about the former president I find amusing because there’s never a disparaging thing said about the current administration and their blunders? That’s kind of odd considering there’s been so many and there’s a ton of good comedic content too. Try being impartial maybe? Your show features an enormous amount of ads. And not just the quantity but the length. If your podcast shows an hour length I know that it’s realistically about 35-40 min of real content. That’s insane! Do you really need that much ad revenue to support the pod? I doubt it. You’re all high profile celebs. The questions. Well, can you come prepared with something? I know two of you supposedly have no idea who the guest is but can you have some canned questions so you’re not stumbling over every little thought. Lastly, I have never watched Will and Grace but I know of Sean and he seems like a genuinely good person. Jason and Will, you both seem to think it’s really funny to never let him speak, make fun of him for being gay, and also mention that his dad left when he was young. How about give the guy a break and let him be apart of the pod? His questions are more interesting than both of yours and more related to the guests content too.
Update: can you let your guests speak for christs sake? No one cares about all your personal input. Hence, why you have guests on.
John Goodman interview
That was one of the best interview y’all have ever done. All of you asked great questions and were engaged the entire time. John is great actor and an engaging conversationalist.
