  • Slow Limbaugh

    He was horrible and bias, unwilling to listen to others and just not funny...and that was WITH Bubba. Now he’s unhinged like Trump with no one to ground him and surrounded by yes men. Everything is the liberals fault, just like Jesus intended - there I just saved you an hour.

  • Lost me

    The new show is kind of like NASCAR as of today. It’s kind of lost its way and lost its hard-core audience of who it was.
