  • Love you and Shane ….

    Please keep it to you and the crossover you do w the other podcast. Please, no new hosts that are previous housewives. Monotone and not entertaining. Sorry, JF, I do not think this is the right medium for you to host and report on. It’s hard to follow an entertaining show that E&S provide.
