  • Please Ryan

    Stop laughing. I haven’t a clue how any sane person could listen to a whole episode. Your laugh is the Absolute worst, most annoying laugh on the planet and it isn’t close. Other than that, stop crying about your “near death experience “. It’s played out and no one feels bad for you anymore.

    While I have never listened to a podcast with a higher density of ads than this one (I am retired and live alone, -it’s really the most) this guy deserves it, to pay for what he has going on.

I gave this platform nine months of my time, trust, and hopes, so you see, it was not only about the money. In my sorrowful state, I reached out to this company that I found on Guru, and they became my s... more

  • Sad how much this podcast has changed for sure.

    This used to be a classic podcast with great comedian guests. Now It’s turned into something totally different and it’s ads every few minutes. Did he sell his show or something? It’s a. Completely corporate owned vibe. Bring back the comedian guests. Instead it’s porn stars & other figures who are not interesting at all to this podcast’s audience.
