  • Word salad

    I dig the pod, but guys PLEASE let each other speak! I find myself fast forwarding through several sections because it’s four guys all talking at the same time. No one seems to realize this? It’s exhausting.

  • Less Minotti Please

    Minotti talks too much. It gunks up group conversation and his energy is too childish and cringe (Baby Mikey wants chicken tendies).

    The pod would be better if it felt more like a group conversation vs Mike having verbal diarrhea.
