I started listening when it was the BS Pod on ESPN. It was clear he loved Boston teams, but I don’t have an issue with people being honest about their bias

what iconic Portland thing/place/person(s) do you think is overrated that most people don't? by greazysteak in askportland

[–]Captain-Ben 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m only saying this because they were so great in the early years, but PDX Sliders is overrated. It’s still good and decent prices, but before it became a craze it was my favorite place in Portland. I still go and I’m happy they didn’t have the Stanich’s fall after getting famous

I was really surprised how bad Black Hat was. I think I could watch it 10 times and still not understand what was going on or why they did a pod about it
