  • Great pod. Audio annoying

    I love T Bob and Jacob together. Great chemistry and great content.

    Please fix the audio. Your levels are very low and the ad breaks are very high and jarring.

  • Turn sound up

    Been listening for over 5 years and rarely miss a day. Best show out there. Full stop. You do need to slightly turn the sound up though. I have to just about max the volume when listening to the recording in my truck. And then the commercials are at least 50% louder so they break my ears when they come on. But that’s my only suggestion. Keep everything else the same cause I love this show and couldn’t live without it. Geaux Tigers

  • Fix the sound

    The volume is so low on the show. Especially when the show is on the road. I don’t know if you need to stand closer to Mic get a better Mike. I have to turn the volume 3/4 of the way up just to listen. Love the show though that’s why I gave you five stars.
