  • Jeremy is the rational one of late

    Getting more difficult to listen to Adrian. Those left wing goggles are seriously hindering his view of the world. Opinions matter unless that opinion upsets Adrian.

  • Gone very woke and boring

    Lads I can’t even listen anymore. You have gone so woke and boring its just impossible to even make it past the 4 or 5

    Minute mark these days and I have to Switch off. Been listening for 2 decades to you, every night but the past year you guys have been just unbearable.

  • No point listening anymore

    Use to love this podcast back in the day then 2020 hit and they chose there side which was the wrong side supporting forced juice forced lockdowns . Fast forward to now and the programme is pointless . Fake topics fake emails all written the same , They champion and support all the wrong things and if u disagree u get blocked off the socials . The show would benefit from ditching Jeremy he’s one of those who knows more and more about less and less
