  • Suggestion

    I had never heard your show before, but I like it. However, you guys really need to let each other talk. I know you guys are good friends, but it’s very annoying. Hearing you guys interrupt each other all the time.

  • Too Negative

    This already was my last choice in a Reds Podcast because of the negativity, but then the host says that those who disagree with him can go “F” themselves.
