  • Over for me

    I cannot listen to this show.

But there’s also a great saying that says do unto... more

    Meanwhile, his former cohost, Bubba, has had to start everything from scratch to get analytics for his podcast. That was the first straw.

    Listened for a bit, and it’s not the same. Tryi... more
