  • BORING!!!!!

    I listened to the first 3 minutes of an episode, Danny sounds bored and has no energy in his voice. Just so monotoned. This podcast is one of the worst I’ve ever listened to. Worse the ones with the girls who think they funny and talk about drinking. Dude if your not interested in doing a podcast then just don’t do it, I listened to the whole episode and even the chick sounds just as bad as you. I hate kinda funny due to their politics but I listen to them cause it’s much more entertaining.
