  • Kate is awesome guys need to stop making it all about themselves

    I really hate the “let me tell you about myself for five minutes” so you can comment and make it sound like a question.

  • Ads are too loud!

    Love the content but the ads are so much louder than the actual content! Ad breaks are like a jump scare while I’m driving then I struggle to hear the actual conversation.

    CBS screwed this one up big time. Had a chance to grow the game and instead they put out this trash.
