Got so mad had to write more. I have heard every episode of Jordan Jessie Go. I have absolutely no problem with listening to friends ramble for hours. This is not that. These guys have somehow negative chemistry. This is the ai generated version of friends rambling the podcast, only pathetically it doesn’t even have the excuse of being chat bots talking to each other. The hosts also are extremely gullible. Their CES coverage may as well just be handing you the marketing material from the people ... more
Awesome podcast about these expensive toys that we're all obsessed with.
Nice Podcast about gaming handhelds!
Really? I’ve listened to a few of Thor and Stubb’s podcasts in the past but now they’re using more F bombs and S words like it’s going out of style. Also they are trying too hard to be funny by adding on risqué comments about themselves which lands flat. They are adult men not teenagers learning about sex for the first time. Grow up.
I really really want to like this. We need it. There is no one that covers emulation content. But good lord the one host just tries to make jokes the entire time. From the horrible aside about the phrase “master” which is about as racist as you can get - to cheetos steve (some of us don’t know the discord or your friends) - when one of the host was trying to share about the steam deck - it was completely detailed by Stubbs. I’m a podcast listener - so you should try and listen to this yourself. ... more
