    This clown isn’t even near the top 100 of podcasts, and runs more adds than Joe Rogan, acting like he’s somebody.

    I suspected that you played guitar. The opening music is that you playing guitar if so what device or foot switch do you use to get that squeak sound. I’ve been playing guitar since 1974 and can’t figure it out how to get that effect.

    Thank you for what you do

  • Awesome

    Love the content. I wish more Podcast’s would do what Lex does; put all the ads upfront. I think he probably gets more ad revenue because of this respectful vs adversarial approach.

    I used to be irritated by all the adds Mike thinks is needed, but his new format of an add every 4 minutes is STUPID. Makes it wayyy to unenjoyable. I’ll stick to the podcasts that do the add reads in the beginning, middle, end or all 3.
