What happened to what used to be a fun listen….this show tanked. Kenny…what a disappointment. Bring back Amy, Dawn, anyone. This is terrible.

Bike show was great. There are so many reasons why Kenny should not leave the show cause he knows what people outside city limits wants to hear. The motorcycle gang thing was great. It verified some past experiences.
Great show and they are a wonderful team to listen to.
