The most recent probstein episode got an unsubscribe from me. Absolutely didn’t wanna touch it and instead said it was just a tech issue without covering any of the shilling or probstein’s history. Didn’t go into detail about the data leak, was just a tech issue… Didn’t wanna be “haters”. Come on man stand for something besides just money. Very industry corporate show, weak.
As someone new to the hobby this show has been so helpful! I enjoy hearing from the leaders in the hobby and it’s the perfect length show for my morning routine. Can’t wait to see who else they bring on the show!
Love the idea and execution. Hoping to see a Topps or Panini UFC episode in the future.
