  • 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.

    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
