Today’s content was repeat of yesterday’s podcast. ?? Different title but same content. Please update the content daily
Best podcast and j Mac is a great co host never change
The man knows how to create interest and intrigue in topics most people would dismiss, unless you’re a true sports fan..but WHY does he settle for a Jack-in-the-box sidekick, when there have to be better options he could work with??
Thank you, Colin, for being the best entertainer in the business. Your cast is the highlight of my day, honestly. I’m about your age. Keep going, please. Life is hard. You make it better. Peace out.
