Customer Reviews
There’s that word again
I must be a bit slow, because it took me a while to get all of the humor in this podcast. Yet, being a fan of MATES, I forced myself to dig my hands in deep and unpack a few episodes. Aside from missing Topicon in the pine barrens a few summers ago, I am not disappointed. As such, I will continue diping my beak into these as they get produced and start my own Amherst study group in in the shadows of Emily Dickinson’s mansion in Western Massachusetts.
Found through searching for Liz Phair
You ask her what her definition of music is; she gives you her definition. Then you tell her she’s not correct. I get it was from 2014 but JHC, Michael Showalter and Ian…. what a couple of Richard heads. And you sure are focused on the breast. Very condescending and rude. Phuck boys galore.
The 1 star is for Liz. Major small Richard energy here.
Dip your beak in
The great thing about this podcast is that the only rule is there are no rules. The hosts discuss serious topics, but if something funny happens THAT’S OK. You might even have a belly laugh or two. It’s a great place to get your beak wet in some really meaty topics. Hopefully new episodes will appear soon. My study group has completed discussing 100% of the topics of each episode.
