“I like the concept of their podcast network but I always listen for a couple days and then have to put it down for a while. I want to like it more but Gary is just so insufferable.
I like Kole. He comes across like a really sweet and fun guy. He seems willing to give almost everything a try, and when something is not for him he can at least recognize the appeal.
Gary comes across like a snob. He’s enjoyable when he’s riffing and telling jokes, but he becomes insufferable whenever he gives his genuine opinion on anything. He has a narrow window of what he considers good and anything that doesn’t fit that he hates on. And I don’t mean he simply doesn’t like it. He’ll go on about how it’s actually dumb and people who like it just don’t have his refined palette or level of experience.
I don’t need to agree with someone to enjoy their content. I listen to plenty of podcasts where I actively think the hosts are wrong but they are fun to listen to. I can even handle being condescended to, especially if it’s funny. But Gary is just too much. It gets exhausting.
I still give it 3 stars because what works really works. But the one host brings it down.”
