This podcast is fascinating and really enjoy listening to it. The hosts are knowledgeable (wouldn’t expect anything less from TMZ) and very respectful of the deceased.
My only suggestion is to add more info per episode. You could easily add another 30 min.
You left out one thing when talking about their impact- appearing in Vegas Vacation!
You all get a lot of things wrong most notably in your Luke Perry episode. His son’s name is Jack and 8 Seconds was from 1994. He was on 90210 at the time. Amazing film. Amazing man. Do better. ETA George Wendt didn’t portray Ditka in his SNL “Da Bears” skits. You guys gets some basic info wrong and show you’re not fans or respectful of those who are when you get stuff wrong. ETA shame on you for covering a white supremacist who did nothing with his life but spread hate. He was a nobody.
Show is good when you just need 20-30 minutes of something decent to listen to.
They’ll overinflated the importance of who they’re covering all the time though. In the Aaron Hernandez episode they said even though Gronk went on to have the better career; it was Hernandez that was the big star of the two… that’s simply not at all true. They claim there would be no Bad Bunny without Big Pun. Pretty much implying that other acts from Puerto Rico wouldn’t possibly break out without him doing so ... more
I hope you intend to cove more Charlie Kirk than 4 mins. He did more in 31 yrs than any of us in 100 yrs.
TMZ, remember there is more than one side listening to you. (For Now!) Help change my mind!
