One of my favorite podcasts ever. I always try and put people onto this podcast. I’m currently going backwards and listening to old episodes and my god, getting rid of wax was the best decision. He definitely had a few teachers in his classroom
The next time I hear Charlamange discuss the Drake/Kendrick beef will be too soon, we get it you hate Drake and always will & Love Kendrick! Quit saying the way you feel about certain things is the way the world feels also. Drake would easily sell more tickets worldwide than Kendrick and Jay-z right now. Also it’s annoying that Charlamange keeps saying that being called a Pedo is equivalent to being called a woman beater! Love the pod tho, been listening since 2012!
The politics are killing me. I expect the talk during election season but goodness. Most of us tune in to get a break from reality and laugh or zone out please give it a break. More sports more anything but politics!
Just straight up racists now.
When they’re being reductive responsibility is not required because they’re idiots. But everyone else is just so irresponsible because well, they disagree with them.
Charlamange makes valid points but Schulz is just an attention seeking moron. Who put a mike in front of him…
