Bill, I pray you see this. Charles and Vann have to go. Unlistenable!! I tried to listen to a few episodes about an amazing show “the Last of Us”, and I had to turn it off early 3 times. From Vann blathering on endlessly about the Super Bowl and Patrick Mahomes to Charles talking like he’s fucking Vanilla Ice, these 2 are ruining what should be one of your best podcasts! Please, show us some mercy and put these 2 clowns out of work. The world always needs more road flaggers!
van maKes me turn off every podcast he on, dude think he woke but no u just annoying
HSBC is Chinese. Hing Kong Shanghai Banking Corp
love this podcast about Westworld. One improvement I'd suggest, replace the guy who never seems to get it, with someone who can add to the show. He's a downer....
I totally agree about Bob and Carol. I got more concerned about the dogs when he gets in the car. if anything happens to them, I'm out. The Old Man is truly a great show. thank you FX!
