  • Getting bad

    I hate to write this, but it’s getting rough. JR constantly repeats himself. He talks a lot but doesn’t say anything. Old episodes are fine, anything new isn’t worth the listen.

  • Jim Ross is pathetic

    Jim Ross is borderline incoherent, but at least Conrad is entertaining, so I listened to the show on occasion, but his pathetic fabricated story about Sunny trying to move in with him and offering to “take care of him in the bedroom” is such a pathetic lie that I can’t justify listening anymore. She’s in jail, her life is a mess, but fabricating a story like that is beyond repulsive. What an absolute joke. Every single person who knows either of you and heard that nonsense is laughing at how l... more
