sweet dee is azor ahai

I don't like saying negative things about podcast hosts when I can help it. but I can't. this host needs real improvement. the Valley accent is irritating, he and the guest constantly go of on distracted tangents about everything BUT the Munsters, the weird comment about hating kids was unnecessary, and he did 0 research about the OG show when it would have benefitted the episode. (The Munsters were more original, by the way; particularly in how Universal Pictures predates the Addams comics by years.) also, you're team Addams when you've never even watched the Munsters? that's just bad taste 😂
