  • Would give 6 stars if they could fix the sound.

    Content is awesome and I listen to all episodes. I listen in the car and unfortunately the volume swings from too low to to high. The opening music is always much louder than the last thing I was listening to. I immediately turn it down, then I can't hear the dialogue. Tri's voice is often far to quiet. I have to turn the sound up and down constantly. Sometimes I just give up and delete the episode.

    Love the show and the inside look at the players’ lives and backstories. Loved the behind the scenes stories from The Thin Beast and others.

    One other recommendation. I realize it’s rated explicit for the rare F bomb that gets dropped, but I wish it wasn’t, so I could share it with my kids. Now that you guys are both family guys, maybe consi... more
