    Really wanted to give you guys another shot because what you cover is right up my alley but mocking the President and your political views are a no go for me. I don’t know why podcasters feel the need to push their views. Leave it at home. Bummer..

  • Hoping President Trump dies!!!

    Wow! Barely made it through the first 5 minutes and they were already talking about how disappointed they were that Presidents Trump wasn’t dead. Classy but no thanks.
