  • Co-host purgatory…

    Mike, the show is great. The co-hosts are not... I’m an every day listener.. My advice, PLEASE just do the show alone when Chris is unavailable. Miles Simmons screeching like an excited 6 year old just so he can walk on your mic to say an irrelevant thought every 2 minutes does not make for good listening. Devon Mccourty drolls on in tedium sounding like the corners of his mouth are endlessly caked in white goop. My ears are bleeding after being forced to endure Simmons today…
