About this listen

 No Hugging, No Learning is the show about one thing...watching Always Sunny for the first time. We originally watched through Seinfeld and then Curb Your Enthusiasm and finished both series, so we moved on to what many call the "spiritual successor" of Seinfeld. After sitting down and watching every episode, hosts Tim Murphy and Ted Hallowell will talk about what bits still work, what worked back then, and things that are so cringe that they probably should never have been part of the show...at least from a modern day viewpoint. New episodes of No Hugging, No Learning drop every Sunday.
