Jeff, your life long friend did you a favor to give you ride and you go off that they might not be ingesting the MSM that you do and all you do is put them down. You are all sad and caustic…
Love the podcast, one of my favorite. My only issue is the their time stamps. Ever since they started using dynamic ads their time stamps have been off, it’s very frustrating if you’re trying to avoid spoilers. Hopefully one day they start editing the timestamps after episodes are published.
Alex just said he hates this country. I honestly can’t bear his liberal BS anymore, it’s too bad cause Brad and Vinny are cool but Alex just can’t keep politics out of it. Unsub
