  • Idk!!!!!

    I’m fan but I have to be rude. You need some excitement on pods. You’re all monotone. Sorry but we all have kids it’s not like u won the lottery. We don’t want to hear about Arya’s kid. And aray says I don’t know after every opinion. You guys are better than this. Have scrub daddy on! Something more than “you know, I don’t know” and my kid looked at the sun. Sorry but you’re better than this. Your job is payed gossip. Spill it!

  • Swap is a must for moto fans.

    Love everything you do. I’ve really been LOVING the RJ and Wardy shows. Podium to Present has been awesome. Great addition to the channel! Please keep them coming! These are great to when there’s no race this weekend. I’ve heard them all at least twice and sent them to all my older vet friends. They’ve loved them too!
