  • Sold yourselves out

    Ben cmon. You’ve said several times in the past week how these gambling apps are predatory and how you don’t advertise with them, and then you do a DraftKings ad (that you read yourself) at the end of the Hour 2 episode on 6/10 and you continue to do the same. Disappointing, guess everyone can be bought

  • Content is fine. Audio is terrible.

    Dumb intro music twice as loud as Ben. Ads are the same. Just fix the audio, not that hard.
