  • Disappointing

    My husband and I were huge MU fans and plus listeners for well over a decade. I completely understand Ben & Aaron’s decision to leave the show, but I cannot get on board with the new hosts. I did give them a chance, but the constant swearing (yes, it really is that bad and just sounds ignorant at this level), immaturity, and lack of depth and knowledge on their stories is sorely disappointing. Maybe someday they’ll improve, but that day is not today.

  • Growing pains… ?

    Been listening to Da Boyz from down under for 15+ years. These new guys I hope will mature… just not sure I’ll have the patience to wait for it to happen. They need to acknowledge the target demographic and drop the Pot, Butt humor, adolescent language or more listeners will jump ship! I love the stories but could do without the college radio station vibe. Good luck to them as they have HUGE shoes to fill!

  • No chemistry

    These guys suck. I used to subscribe to plus. I’ll listen to the guys new show when it comes out. I think Benjamin and Aaron underestimated how big a part of the show their personalities were. I care way less about the content than I do about an just enjoyable episode.

  • Vessel hijacking

    Actual translation of demon in scripture is that which pounces on and devours. I think your theory of say children who are molested “checking out” or those on drugs is a good example. The body is available. Ben and Aaron kept language clean over 16 years I’ve listened and it will level you up. You seem to have good Christian teaching and someday you will circle back to your roots in a brave new POV, because God’s mystery is way out of the box. But He sends us love. Thanks for supporting the ... more
