Awful

Not funny in the slightest. Throughout their last episode they allowed a 70+ year old guy basically rant about how he likes sex with teens because they're dumb, they tried to talk about preferences in how a woman's labia looked and the old guy basically described a child's. They just let this old guy talk on and on, unchallenged, about how he wants likes young girls. Just really gross and misogynistic, borderline glorification of pedophilia, child abuse and grooming. Would give it 0 stars if I could.

Some of it was ok (not funny really but ok i guess) but then in ep 3 it takes this f***ked turn where u guys rly show a nasty side. The guest who is like 75 sounds like a total nonce. He’s on your pod and ur letting him reminisce about this 13 yr old taking it up the back door? That’s a child bro, and neither of u guys say anything. i can’t support that. u can’t let someone sexualise a kid and then say it’s good to have an age of consent of 14. that right there, that’s letting pedos and child molesters feel supported and vindicated, it normalises child abuse. why were u so scared to turn round and say ‘grandpa thats disgusting and we’re gonna have problems if u dont shut up now.’ can’t be doing with it lads.

I find it interesting, enlightening, and entertaining. However, I think people Victorian in nature, repressed, are likely to think poorly of this podcast.

At best, it’s unfunny, lazy, misogynistic comedy that objectifies women without managing to scrape up any humour at all. But looking at the seedy underside, it’s giving a platform to a disgusting old man in Frank Thring, who gets to openly and proudly guffaw about his penchant for young women in their early twenties and late teens because they’re “young, dumb, and full of cum.” And because they’re mostly “happy, happy, happy little girls.” Someone check this man’s hard drives. And the host’s while they’re there, for chuckling along and allowing this kind of stuff to go uncriticised and unchecked. Questionable lusting over ‘little girls’ aside, the main crime here is that these men just aren’t interesting, funny or edgy in any way. Lame, regressive, chauvinistic, 1990’s-style chat that today just seems boring, dated and gross. Proof that most men should not be given microphones. Big nope.
