    Just found out Scott is gone. Thought he was on vacation but apparently not. Love me some Jeremy but Scott is the straw that stirs the drink. Dissipating

  • Missing Braddock

    Not sure why Scott Braddock suddenly left the pod workout explanation, but it's simply not a good show without him. Jeremy is a good reporter, but he doesn't have personality to be the primary host. I guess it's time for me to move on as well.
