  • Epically awful

    Minutes and minutes of nonsense banter, inside jokes and simple-minded buzz words at open of each ep. One of the worst I’ve ever heard

  • Worst Podcast Ever

    This podcast is, without a doubt, the most disappointing one I've ever attempted to enjoy. The hosts seem completely out of their depth. I tuned in to a 2022 episode focused on the Dallas Cowboys, and it was poorly executed. The remarks from these individuals were cringeworthy, to say the least. You can sense the arrogance in the main host's voice, and the foolish comments from his sidekicks were equally dismal. Do they genuinely believe they're amusing? It's just painful to listen to.
