- More Knowledge and personality than I can handle – Destroyage
- These guys are freakin phenomenal. I am an average Rick and Morty fan, but I always find myself coming back to this podcast to listen to Brandon and Travis as they’re not only hilarious, but know far too much about R&M. F the review who says they’re boring…that person is boring. Love these dudes! Weeeeeee!
