    Leftist leaning garbage. Likable hosts but their constant partisan political orientation nonsense detracts from enjoying their exploits. Listened to my last show, good luck, good health and good fortune L & A.

  • No longer worth it

    The embarrassingly uniformed politics and baseball talk have drowned out the occasional moments of magic the show undoubtedly provides. Check out one of Andrew’s other offerings without the deeply unlikable and hypocritical Luke.
