- Bobby thumbs down
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

United States14 days ago - No more of Lying Bobby
What have we the listeners done to deserve this. Bobby has ruined the show. He’s not funny, him trying to constantly trying to alpha the room he’s made up facts and the fact he lies to just lie. I’m sure he’s funny to his fan base but reading these past reviews were not his base

Bobby has made the show unlistenable, his non stop lies and bootlicking are just getting sad…
Apple Podcasts3stooliesR.A.jokeUnited States2 months ago - Stop Bobby from singing
For Christ’s sake, do us a favor and stop him from singing. Just move to something else, and at the very least stop the encouragement. Big Jay can almost do no wrong (the real anger at his GF and Jacob is awkward) but Bobby honestly needs less air time.
