  • Yuck

    I used to listen religiously for few years but kjr is gone off deep end. Low level guests, constant yelling low level guests. Soccer talk, same ole debates and running out Hugh Millen who can’t form a sentence and who rambles on about nothing. Team 710 Brock and Salk!

  • Softy Softerson is real piece of work.

    Really enjoy the podcast but sometimes Softy is s little sappy. Podcast Commercials are disruptive, annoying and very repetitive.
