  • Eating while Mic-Ed

    Misophonia? Then don’t listen to this podcast! I am checking this show out for the first time #293 and listening to one of them eat their lunch. I don’t know about you - but there is no way in hell I would ever suggest listening to the gum chewer/lunch eaters.

    It makes me so angry to hear this unnecessary chewing — so much for funny

  • Pop culture in crack

    In a good way. :) These guys bounce all over the place and cover such a wide variety of topics that there is something for everybody. From sports to pop culture, they provide an awesome run-down every single week. And their endless supply of Top-5s has me yelling at my phone a lot!
