Weird how Stevie Nelson never achieved the same success as her LTASMI costar Milana V. I wonder why. Lmao perhaps SAG is what will finally let her beat Milana

2023-08-21 03:20:09 +0000 UTCAlso, while I got you Chapos here, let me say that I loved Chris's off-mic but still audible, hypemanesque laughs after Matt's and Felix's zingers on Friday's episode. The off-mic laughs are always a great add to an already good zinger.

2023-08-19 16:58:27 +0000 UTCWanna echo Andrew Rexroat - great episode and loved the format and editing. Thanks for putting up on public feed, this is perfect for sharing with friends who aren't regular listeners.

2023-08-19 16:47:16 +0000 UTCI'd give a 75% chance that the streaming companies also don't know how many people are actually watching their shows and really don't want anyone finding out how imprecise and useless their numbers really are, because they don't want investors to know how meaningless the stats they quote are. That's just based on my experience working in tech, though.
