If I wanted to listen to 4 people do nothing but laugh into a microphone I’d watch a sitcom from the 90s.

United Statesa year ago - Never fails to disappoint
Been listening for a while, huge fan of the show and glad to have it back. Great contrast to normal football podcast content, and a funny insight into the mundane (or not so in some cases), lives of footballers.
Keep it going!

United Kingdom2 years ago - It’s So Funny… Please rethink your sponsors
I have just binged 5 eps in one day. It’s so cheerful, interesting and funny… Edit; disappointed by the betting advertisements. It’s an addiction that bankrupts vulnerable people, and tears their families apart. Please rethink your sponsors.

Edit; disappointed by the betting advertisements. It’s an addiction that bankrupts people and ruins families. These companies prey upon vulnerable people for quick serotonin fixes. Please rethink your sponsors.
