Great podcast

Joe is a great character and does a fantastic job talking with his guests. He’s funny but also keeps both his guests and his audience engaged. The guests are varied and interesting and the stories are spectacular! Super podcast!!!!

Idea has merit; needs a better host.

The episode where the host goes on weirdly aggressive tirades against former guests and their associates for no reason and then blocks them was pretty underwhelming. Strong sexist undertones. Would not recommend.
