  • Great Scott!

    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.

    Nothing against Jeremy, but I’ve listened to Texas Take weekly forever, and I don’t see how Scott can just disappear with no comment? What is going on?

  • Great Job, Jeremy!

    Way to take the bull by the horns! Excellent interview with Senator Cruz. You pushed back, but not too much. I appreciate the information and look forward to more long form interviews in the future.
