4.7 out of 5 stars from 36 ratings
  • Generally good

    Generally a fun podcast. Mike’s dramatic voice and volume can often make it a bit harder to get through. He can be uncomfortably emotive. I feel secondhand embarrassment during some moments.

    Also, not sure why the AP guy is on. This isn’t a jab at him, but he usually makes little to no contribution to the actual show outside of doing the outro. Really odd.

  • Mike needs to go.

    Bro is so annoying..I figured since he’s allowed to voice his political opinion so loudly all the time so would I. This podcast is great aside from the host making it known he needs attention so badly. Cheers to the three other guys.
