  • What happened to David Spade?

    Man, I used to love that guy. Recently he has been so grumpy and such a downer. I feel Dana is tap dancing trying to keep the conversations light and fun and David is the “wha -wha”. Everyone has off days, but he needs an attitude adjustment for this to be a funny podcast. Best of luck to him.
