  • Not good and never will be.

    Even with new hosts, the show still sucks. Jays Journal is a terrible resource for any Jays news. Don't even bother listening

  • Bad show

    The hosts breathe and fake laugh into the mic too much. Kris Key is ahost that knows nothing. His other podcast failed (Jay Jam,another just awful podcast) and came over to this one. Jays Journal is a complete joke and all these hosts write or have written for that terrible click bait website. You can listen to any other Jays podcast and it is better than this one.

  • Just a Bad show

    Absolutely terrible show. Hosts think they know more than they do. One of the hosts laughs and breathes too much into the mic. It also brought in the biggest click bait crap website in Jays Journal. So many better shows that covers the Jays. This isn't a good show and never really was.

  • Use to be good

    Not sure why they needed a 4th person on this show. The 4th person likes to make hot takes and will whine to the other hosts that use to do this show with 3 of them.

    Also getting back on the terrible Jays Journal platform says enough about this show. Click bait is where it's at. You can find alot better podcast on the Jays. This isn't one of them
