  • Need a different POV

    The addition of Jacobi really ratcheted up the ”real men behave like this”gender essentialism which I guess is inescapable from sports podcasting but had to finally unsubscribe after the deportation jokes

  • Irritating ad interruptions

    I’ve loved this show and have always enjoyed Verno, but this random ad interruptions have gotten out of hand. I’m finding myself wanting to listen less and less because of the constant mid-sentence ad interruptions.
