  • Friends & food. Yum!

    I love the friendly combo of Phil’s goofiness & David’s enthusiasm :) It’s fun to meet people in their informal talk & eat format. Interjecting their own stories of Hollywood & Rock Stars that are so personal & Entertaining! Just listened to Heather Graham episode and I’m so hungry after all the food talk. ❤️❤️❤️

  • My very favorite podcast!

    Phil and David are exceptionally knowledgeable, positive and uplifting hosts that bring in the most phenomenal guests. This is my go-to podcast that I take along with me when I want to spend a lovely lunchtime, drive time or daily walk and hang out the loveliest people. Bravo!

  • Wonderful show with scattered “One-sided” Political views

    I believe both hosts are great humans. And it’s really a great podcast when they stay off politics. Phil especially provided me with a lot of happiness because of his kindness toward people and his natural, clever and intelligent humor. But I don’t like it when one-sided politics are discussed and implied. There seems to be more of that now. So I have stopped following.
