  • Be better

    This show would be so much better if Bmitch could stop saying “the thing about it is” or “the whole thing about it is.” Sounds like a 4 year old.

    You’ve been in radio for 2 decades - I’m sure you can do better. The guys sometimes also sound like they’re winging it and constantly reaching out for help to the guys behind the glass.

    Get rid of Jeff. Boring. Humorless. Slow. Unimportant.

  • Trying too hard

    JP’s attempts at being fresh is overbearing. An example are his insistence that he refers to everyone by a modern sounding nickname. It’s a bore and immature.
