    Make of that what you will. Not, make that what you will. Podcasters unfortunately do not have to speak well or be very smart. They typically have bad grammar and poor sentence structure.

The grammar isn’t any better either. The hosts must have skipped geography class, too. Ricky continues to make inane comments and his presence serves no purpose except to annoy listeners, and his speaking manner is just odd and unnatural. Finally, there are too many advertisements. It’s quite unbelievable that a... more
