I like mirtle. Jonas literally just says “they need to get better players” and offers no insight on how. Very frustrating to listen to
Lose one star because listening to Jonas negativity forces me to take a one star !!! I James and his guests but Jonas makes him a downer when he’s on
Typical disinterested and disengaged pod from J and J. Gave it another chance after they were terrible last season and nothing has changed.
Some of these reviews are absurd! This podcast is the best, and Jonas is the reason I joined the athletic in the first place. Great show with a smart approach to the game. I haven’t missed a show in 3 years. Anything Jonas is on is much watch, but I stay for James’ jokes!
I want to enjoy the podcast but there needs to be a better balance of negative and positive narratives.
