Love the pod. Great content.
Love Rico, he’s the man. But I can’t get behind a 20 minute podcast with roughly 6 minutes of ads.
Why is it split up into 3 minute segments? And why do ads just randomly come on right in the middle of when Rico is talking? Such a strange podcast.
Love the pod love the msu deep dives keep it up Rocky lol
