About this episode
When did everything become a review?
This week, Bret and Josh get into the rise of rating everything — from restaurants and products to national parks, movies, and even life itself. What started as a helpful tool has somehow turned into a full-time habit.
They break down what reviews actually help (and which ones are completely useless), why written reviews still beat star ratings, and how things like hiking trails, Airbnb stays, and even sugar-free gummy bears have all entered the rating economy.
Along the way: Busch Gardens, Cedar City food hunts, movie takes, and the realization that not everything needs a score.
Because at some point… you have to stop reviewing things and just live them.
