I love Dan Soder, but Bobby, Jay, and the crew have finally found a good rhythm and rapport. Bobby is very candid and doesn’t shy away from confrontation, and it makes the show much more entertaining. Not as entertaining as DJ Lou’s fat dumper though.
Big Jay, Lou, DJ Lou, Dan Soder, Jacob, Dan Soder, somebody revive Dan Soder
I love this show and listen every day but for the love of god don’t play the stupid race face game again on an audio platform. I have a feeling Jacob’s radio instincts were going off the whole time but he didn’t want to disrespect Bobby by saying it on the air. As badly as Bobby wants to, he won’t be able to make a game like story warz in its popularity
So I just saw your cover art and Jay does not look like he is enjoying the but to butt as much as R Kelly, Jay just has sad face and Kelly looks like he wants to say, “little to the left, oh that’s it!”
Please replace Bobby with DJ Lou. Anyone would be better than Bobby. I canceled my SXM because of him. Like really canceled.
