  • Great show minus Jack

    Love the show fellas. I’ve listed since the first episode. Jack’s slurping is at an all time high this year though. The Sam episode was the worst. The best episodes are when Jack doesn’t talk. I’m a big Kyler fan.

  • Is this a grift I’m confused

    I love games either names but the short episodes is 7 minutes of content with 7 min of coors light ads. What are we doing here? Are you guys broke?
