  • Would be better if the midget just stopped showing up permanently

    I have taken to only listening to the recordings that do not have the malignant dwarf in an “on air” speaking role. Show is best when it’s not all about how one host demonstrates ego compensation for not being adequate in his childhood nor adult life. We get it you buy big cards with big money and if you don’t hobby your way it’s wrong. Yawn. The one working the Buffoon gimmick is actually more relatable and charming

  • Just an infomercial now

    Pod has become just an advertisement for their breaking and eBay live business. No hobby discussion here. Surely the ringer can find a more hobby focused content creator here. Wonder if Bill knows this is just one big infomercial at this point.

  • Was good enough

    Used to be fine… I’d put up with mikes obnoxious takes and the arguing to get decent hobby news.. mikes attitudes and putting other hobby personalities down mirrors the toxic online trolls in the hobby…now alls mike talks about is how much he is selling on eBay live… the huge deals he’s doing… cool story once. Talk too much about their business. Stuff that should be discussed off air. Hard to listen to anymore. Unfollowing. Thanks for the decent run.

  • Used to be good…

    This used to be a good informative show where you could learn some things about cards. I can’t listen to it anymore when Mike is there! His pompous and arrogant input, and always negative comments are too much to bare! The show is good when he’s not there. But if he’s on, I’m not listening anymore.

  • Really?

    First episode I’ve listened to and the dude says pervert multiple times. Directed at his coworkers. Its just weird. Will gladly find card news elsewhere.
