    If I have to hear about Virgo season one more time. I can’t wait for it to be over.

    I enjoy the show. You two do a great job of telling the stories. The banter between you all and Willie’s inappropriate jokes will keep me coming back. Keep up the good work.

  • Love the show

    Stumbled across this pod because I listen to Melanin Mayhem…love the energy & the stories ….my only critique is Willie not pronouncing the names of the players and reviewers correctly. I get it that some names may be slightly difficult but it comes across slightly distasteful and disrespectful….other than that keep up the good work & good storytelling
