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
Maybe it’s just not for me, but it has not been funny even once.
In light of how much weight Big Jay has lost he’s no longer Big so he should do a poll for a new nickname such as Blue Jay Oakerson, Billy Jay Oakerson or my personal favorite Kevin Smith doppelgänger (when wearing jerseys) he looks a lot like him. The Bonfire is awesome.
I am sure you won't read this, but here goes. I am trying so hard to stay with you, but you are making it so difficult. You bitch about other comedians leaving politics alone yet you do it too. Your trying to play both sides and you just can't right now. Either take a stance and stand beside it and lose the folks who don't agree and actually shut up about the politics. Pussies!
Good show until Kelly starts to pontificate his right wing babble. Tell Bobby that there is a difference between communism and socialism. His constant misinformation makes me shut off the show. Pls stop so I can listen to a complete show.
