I like the hosts BUT

I know this will go unnoticed, but for me the difference between this and office ladies is office ladies goes behind the scenes more it's like this podcast just covers the plot of the episode and maybe a story or two. too formuliac too constricted. do more behind the scenes don't have a time limit as long as it's not 4 hours long. if the retention rate drops it's not the length of the pod. liked rob and Alan like Jim and Craig

Cannot Get Enough

I love listening to the behind the scenes thoughts, scrapped lines, and ditched scenes from Rlow, Alan, and guests, of every episode of my favorite TV show.
