  • Weird talks about how woke is more preferred and rasism is bad. In space themed podcast. Assume waste of time if you did not look for it. + Sometimes they do it quickly.

    2) think they are the most hilarious people in the universe (a failing common to most mediocre podcasts)

    3) usually record the podcast while playing a video game simultaneously, both rendering the discussion itself distracted and less interesting, and also somewhat unintelligible if you're not watching the simulcast video.
