  • Getting old badly

    Just seems like a pay day for the lads now, quite a sad show. Older men still cracking up at lame comments and now filming it. Not a hint of self awareness and just so annoying.

  • Sound problems

    Love the show, but it’s becoming unlistenable with the sound issues.

    The ads play over the content at the start of the show and even if you listen through several minutes of that to get through it, if you then pause and re-start later the ads just re-start over the content.
