  • Great Show

    I enjoy your show very much, keep on keeping on!

    but its tough listening to you gasp for air. Methinks you guys are compressing the podcast too much. Other fix would be to run it through a gate to mute out the air gasps.

  • I enjoy this show, but I have one gripe!

    I really enjoy this podcast, I like the comments from both John and Tim. They are lest seen from different angles and explained and critiqued well. The bold comments and predictions are great, too. I also like Tim and Johns relationship haha.

    My gripe is the inconsistency of shows being released. It says on the cover photo every mon, wed and fri but very often I come on to find there isn’t a podcast released. I also hate it when it’s the end of the pod and John says ‘we might do a pod Wednesda... more

  • Talking heads that should not be talking and poor editing galore.

    People with CTE should not be allowed to be in front of a microphone. This is shown clearly with a majority of the takes that host John Scott has on this show. He is either incredibly short sighted or is the ultimate rage baiter. Tired and poorly thought out takes constantly.

    Editing of the podcast leaves much to be desired. Leaving in people talking over each other as well as just leaving in your burps coughs and yawns while guests are talking is just the epitome of this show. Absolutely not ... more
