  • Brutal listen

    I love Jimmy The Kat in like 30-60 second increments like we get on the game broadcasts. But as a half hour or hour podcast host, no thank you. This pod is about as much fun as watching paint dry, zero personality. I know Katie is with the west coast evil empire now, but bring Bernie back along with a bigger personality for a host and I’d be way more willing to tune in more consistently. Until that happens it’s a hard pass for me dawg. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • From good to bad

    What a joke. Not a fan of the comedy show. I’ve tried several times to listen and give it a chance but it’s just not interesting. Lance seems like the only one that takes it serious. No more, I just can’t.
