  • Not Good

    I feel VC & TMAC are not well-prepared when interviewing their guests. There were a bunch of awkward pauses in the interview with Anfernee Simmons. Also, VC needs to work on not stuttering. No hate here, just want this show to improve so I can listen without feeling bothered from what I am hearing.
