what an a asshole! your guest had no facts to support his position.
todd barry is great, i dont think i've ever heard him on a podcast before
OMG! I remember when you could only get paninis! It was ridiculous!
where do they get these people? I can be forgiving of Periel speaking nonsense about others spending their money like it's her business but one's enough.
I enjoyed the 1st part discussing Chapelle, but most of it is 2 men trying to yap over one another. 🤦😂 Dan seems to have conceded Noam's vision for the podcast will always supersede. 🤣
buddy shouldn't of been fired over a joke, he should of been fired because he is a fucking moron.
Dan: "Wel, I was beautiful too at that age. I'd like to see what another 40 yrs does to her." 😂
Lucie Pohl😍
Godfrey predicted Trump winning the election!
"I like bed. There's nothing here for me in the conscious world." 😂🤣
Listened to this one just to hear Dan go off on Noam. 😂🤣
The talk about Dan's appearance on AGT Champions is gold!
I'm smarter after listening to this Podcast, thanks gang!
by far the most boring line of Questioning the host soundS Mad Wet behind the ears Now My pappy always said"When We know better we do Better
Great episode!
I think Seinfeld based the bad laugher on Periel's laugh. https://youtu.be/PJv4p8voUwo
Pretty much just a group of people trying to yap over each other and nobody does that better than Noam. 🤦😂
Naturman is back and it's a good one!
No Naturman in this one. 🙃
"I'm on board with the Lord." 😂
