Jon and Joe. I used to eat Chester’s Ranch fries every single day in elementary school. Years 2000-2004. I have not thought about those things since at least 2009. Thank you! For reminding me about the delicacy that is Chester’s Ranch Fries. This is especially regarding the Ranch Fries. Not the Hot Fries. The Hot Fries are too spicy for my palette and I remember them turning my fingers red. I’ve loved Popcast since like 2015- thank you for all you do.

This used to be one of my favorite podcasts, with smart, interesting guests covering topics across the pop music spectrum, but it has gotten so tiresome, with just Jon and Joe doing whatever they want, which 90% of the time is covering hip hop and using The NY Times name to get interviews with people they want. What a disappointment.

If you can’t think critically about Kendrick’s performance,just say that. There was no larger political meaning? Come on dude. Other people can do 2 things at once even if y’all can’t. That’s the sound of the message going over your head.
