  • Wait..what?

    Used to really like listening to you guys until leftist opinions became your narrative. Thought y’all were original and gave information that is backed by actual research. Now I’m seeing the brainwashed zombie speech coming out every episode. UNSUBSCRIBED

  • Fix Audio

    Audio could be much better. For starters turn it up louder so when I’m using maps Siri isn’t screaming at me
