    Typical disinterested and disengaged pod from J and J. Gave it another chance after they were terrible last season and nothing has changed.

  • Dumb Reviews

    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.
