As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I dumped my Bill Burr podcasts well over a year ago. Still love his work, but his podcast became a bit repetitive.

The latest episode of Small Town Murder, "Madness of a Murderous Maniac", is fucking insane. It's a must listen. There's crazy and then there's the guy at the center of this story. Seriously, if you've been looking for a new podcast, give this a listen. You won't regret it. Holy fuck.

TIME has an article listing the best 100 podcasts of all time.

It's getting shredded pretty heavily online, like the linked article, because, as shown in the link, it's just personal opinion and not based on ratings or cultural significance.

The author of this article is correct. Fine, you state that it's personal preference, but presenting this as "The 100 Podcasts of all time" is clickbait and does come with some level of expectation that it be factual, because it's TIME.

Hell, even left wing subs on Reddit are bashing this with comments like, "I fucking hate Rogan, but not putting the world's top rated podcast on this list kills its credibility."

That's the problem with all MSM these days. No credibility thanks to so much biased reporting.

The linked article lists the actual top 50 in ratings, and I listen to only #13.

Also, the Hawk Tuah girl being at #11 is embarrassing for men.

Freakonomics! That's the only one I sometimes listen to.
It's not me, it's someone else.

The Really Good Podcast is officially ending.

That Deadline article is way, way more positive about Bobbi's career and future prospects than others, and certainly more so than the denizens of the internet...

Bobbi is getting shredded online because she was gifted lightning in a bottle. I say gifted because despite her complete lack of talent as an interviewer, people made her famous. No doubt her looks helped. Poor, poor oppressed white women...

She's always had her critics, but her haters became the majority overnight when it was revealed she cheated on her husband to clout chase. Deadline's article doesn't discuss it, but her podcast listeners dropped off a cliff after that scandal. It's not in Apple or Spotify's top 100 lists.

The podcast did give us some good moments.

If you've never seen clips from the episode with Andrew Santino, it's pretty funny. He tears her apart in a way that perfectly fit the tone of her podcast.

Also, it did give us this gem that will never go away:
