  • Get rid of the co-hosts!

    VDH is brilliant. That is well established. Both co-hosts are awful, but Sami is particularly bad. Her non-sequitur interruptions of “Well Victor, we’re going to take a break” are beyond obnoxious. It is obvious that the hosts have one job: to throw it to break. But at least let the man finish his thought before cutting him off for a commercial (that, by the way, we all just fast forward through anyway, so it is nothing but an annoyance). Every other show has figured out how to work the breaks i... more

  • Look - I get it. I really do. But the amount of ads anymore is getting insane. It's an hour long episode and you can guarantee 1/4-1/3 will be ad readings of some kind. Also 5+ minutes on AI taking Victors likeness. I get it, that sucks for sure. But what is the disease of every influencer that can't put the ads together and make them a normal volume. Every podcast I listen to is being destroyed. Every. Single. One.
