- Losing their way…
Draft Kings?? Seriously? The trajectory of Blister has been concerning for a bit, but is now in full-on nosedive mode. Ellsworth has always been too preachy and smug for his own good, so that won’t be missed. But Luke and the rest of the crew deserve better. Sucks.

There’s a ton of great episodes, but if this isn’t top 5 for the hilarious outrage targeting alone I’ll ride the magic carpet all season.
Now i need a pair of Commies…and maybe some Wildcats for Wildcat. Keep up the good work

Content not bad but just flat out hypocritical when it comes to the environment! These people always talk about the climate and sustainability but they jet set around the globe, laying a huge carbon footprint!
But always telling us how we have to sacrifice to save the planet
