Really enjoying the show but please, please, please, please, please somebody get Joe a proper microphone. He sounds like he’s underwater and can’t be understood half the time! Thank you for your consideration.

Apple Podcasts5Bunny CubUnited States7 months ago I love the podcast but somewhere along the way Josh got lost in his own a**. Consistently sh*ts on his fans because well obviously he knows best and they're a bunch of tools. Also love when he sh*ts on people like George Clooney who are progressive and very politically active. To his trite remarks I say. What have you done lately good sir? WHO SHOULD IT BE DOING THE FIGHTING BACK ? They'll line up around the block to the follow the no i will not read your script guy into the political trenches
