Please replace Bobby with DJ Lou. Anyone would be better than Bobby. I canceled my SXM because of him. Like really canceled.
…is terrible. The constant lies and one-upmanship are mind numbing.
His impressions suck they all sound like Pesci
His whispering is annoying
Bobby is wack 👎
Big Jay is one of the best comedy podcasters out there… Bobby on the other hand is not. He constantly tries to push people around like he’s a big shot. And the lying bit isn’t funny. It just makes people yell at their radios. Didn’t realize how many people agreed with me until I started reading some of these reviews. He clearly isn’t a fan favorite. I continue to listen for Big Jay but I find myself turning episodes off early because Bobby irritates me too much
