  • Little ears friendly

    Love it. I can play this podcast with kid sin the car and not have to worry about f-bombs. Well done Danny! Peter’s great but he swore too much. I had to listen to the old pod alone.

  • New host is less aggravating than the original host, but could use a personality

    The bald guy ads absolutely nothing to the conversation. Simply a rehash of the same old guests that have been beating the same dead horse to death for years. His accent and non stop “em’s” are annoying as hell.
