  • Love Briggs & Brown

    It’s pretty good content until Carm gets the mic. I find myself yelling β€œjust shut up!!” Often when Carm talks. Other hosts need the ability to mute him, often. Carm - Sorry man, I’m sure you are fun to have a beer with, but you are brutal on the mic.

  • Love my bears but Carm is a bitter, cold soled little man with a terrible attitude

    Great podcast but carm is such a vibe killer. He’s rude and mean to the other members, joking or not. It’s not pleasant to listen to him. The rest of the guys are great
