This week we're talking about CDs, records, DVDs, Blu Rays and MiniDiscs because we're old bores who like the way things used to be.For full-length weekly bonus episodes check out the TCGTE Patreon!Like the show?

Am I crazy, or was there a commercial for some kind of mystery box? Have you gone back and scrubbed this episode?
AND I wish I could still buy an access to Patreon. still really sad I can't do it now
I'm listening to you guys from Russia and I don't like our soldiers too, so that's ok I've been listening for years though
congratulations!!
Buffets episode. You guys are always good but this one was the best so far. I'm off to buy some loose fitting clothes.
wanted to give these guys a go and listen to this episode about Mars Missions. I gave up because they just waffled on too long about irrelevant nonsense. Guys ... if you want to have a personal conversation then do it outside the podcast.

My go to podcast when I want to relax and have a laugh. It's like listening to two mates chatting.

This show is hilarious. Tim and Tom hare a really good comedy dynamic, which is affectionately mocking and has a... smooth flow? They never fail to make me laugh and although their bond exhibits banter they are never mean spirited... lonesome times fly by in their company!
I've been a listener for years, I love this show. It's 2 pals loosely chatting about the subject and generally being funny. So many of these reviews complaining have totally missed the point of this, it's a hang out show. I recommend the Billy Joel ep as a good stand alone/introductory episode. Enjoy!
Omg I luv it so hilarious, the people posting comments like “waste of time” JUST don’t get it but it’s amazing 👍🏻
:)
my IQ dropped to the level of a wombat by the first 2 minutes...
This is utter nonsense! I can't even believe it. I would go hang out at the bus station if I wanted to hear 2 high millennials sitting on a bench & jabber about nothing.
All of the comments from people who are clearly missing the joke, make the show that much funnier! This is my favorite comedy podcast
I'm not sure how I sat through this entire episode. You guys are like low budget SYSK
first time listener. and Def last time. what a load of useless dribble
thanks for so very many years of great podcasts!
