quat?
Good subject matter. Good main host. Unfortunately, juvenile sound effects and the most annoying co-host make it nearly impossible to listen.
they need to protect the aluminum in soda cans from soda. literally.
bunch of loud-mouthed arrogant americans
Love the other episodes with Jason Pargin but this one just felt like it was hammering home a point of hopelessness and conspiracy in a show that is otherwise a delight to listen to and learn fun stuff from.
"Machete's for children"?... That makes me think of the 80's 'Saturday Night Live' sketch w/ Dan Aykroyd & Jane Curtain about dangerous Christmas Toys like the " bag 'o glass".
too many hosts that think they're funny.
I like to eat eat eat apples and bananas
(In the 80's/90's) I did not have any air-conditioning in grade-school OR high-school in the classrooms. & the ONLY a/c in our schools were in the offices & the ONE computer room in our High-school. I'm sure that NOW the entire school has a/c. It totally sucked during gym class when it was hot out....I'd skip or write a fake "sick" note so I didn't have to go.
That fork joke at the intro got me
Huge fan of the land acknowledgment! Thank you!!
The guest on this episode is especially hilarious. I've listened to this episode several times & still laugh (& learn) every time. 😆
The female guest ruins this episode. She's not only UNfunny but her voice & laugh make ears bleed.
I got some orange chicken today because of this episode. Secretly incredibly delicious
Happy 🎂 Birthday Alex!!
Thank you for doing a land acknowledgment!
"Players obsess over it. Others don't," got a chuckle out of me. I was ready to riot if Alex said "No one thinks much about it."
Another fantastic episode! I absolutely adore Alex, (the host) & the perfect guest(s) are matched w/ each episode topic.
One of the chick's he's got on as a guest is so stoned AND illiterate, pronouncing it "lie-berry".
- I highly recommend this awesome podcast! It truly lives up to it's name. 5 stars all the way-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
