Smoking is good is the real hottest take

CR with the “actually smoking is good” is the best episode this show will ever have. Shut it down. CR Heads 4 EVER

Great pod- make more!

This is a great pod, my only gripe is there’s not enough episodes.

Here’s my hot take: it should be legally required to put how some one died on their tombstone.

Bring me on so I can make my case @mattunsworth insta.

One more thing, Girl Scout cookies are trash.

Tyler Parker is the King of the Hot Take.
