  • Unlistenable

    Jim McCord should be fired for renewing unfunny Bobby contract. Jay needs a reality check since he thinks Bobby is the funniest person he knows.. the producers should be ashamed of themselves for not fixing this show since that is their job. Don’t understand why everyone is afraid to go against Jay’s ideas. The only time I agree with pill popping Cristin is when she told jay “you don’t have a producer bone in your body” nothing original comes out of this man’s porn filled head.

  • I already listened on SIRIUS XM

    Here is an update for my review:

    I have been a subscriber on SiriusXM for a long time. I am going to end my subscription because of the dumb stuff you’re doing with the Marcus King episode. I missed the episode when it was live on Sirius. I can’t watch it on Sirius now, because you have taken the episode down. The only place it is available is here on Apple Podcasts behind a paywall. (I will find it on Reddit for FREE now that you’re playing games.) This was a ploy to get people to sign up for ... more
