Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorForbes reports that one of Netflix's best shows is back with a one hundred percent Rotten Tomatoes score. Perfect. What does that mean to you?
Maddox OyelaranIt means flawless, Chip. By any measure, a hundred percent is the sound of critics giving up looking for problems.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFlawless. I love that. So tell us about Gravel Whisperer.
Maddox OyelaranI play a man who talks to driveways. They talk back, but only in the afternoon, when they're warm.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTalking driveways. Wholesome.
Maddox OyelaranAnd here's the good part. Gravel Whisperer also sits at a hundred percent. By any measure, we're twins with that Netflix show.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwins. How many critics have reviewed it so far?
Maddox OyelaranFour. By any measure that counts, four is a crowd, if you stand close.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLet me ask you again. Who are the four?
Maddox OyelaranA blogger, a podcaster, a man from my building, and, fine, my mother-in-law. Her review was a hug.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYour mother-in-law.
Maddox OyelaranShe gave it a thumbs up and a casserole. By any measure, the casserole is the longer review.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFavorite critic?
Maddox OyelaranWhoever posts first and stops.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLast one. What would a bad review do to The Certificate?
Maddox OyelaranChip, it's laminated, but I don't think it's laminated for that. Please don't say it near the paper.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhere can people see Gravel Whisperer, Maddox?
Maddox OyelaranEverywhere reviews are counted, which is four places. Chip, you've seen it, right? Post a fifth, but make it a nice one.
