    You can rely on the fact that if there is a national crisis Gary and the boys will be there straight away to play you some extra advert and discussed the Emergency and it implication for all our lives

    Of course this is a very entertaining podcast if you’re into football, but they really raised the amount of ads to an annoying level the last few months.

    This is incredible and I love when the lads like Thierry are on and keep it up. If you down because of ads you're dumb because it's free they need to get paid and just skip them if you hate them soo much.

    Adverts are totally unbearable to listen to, listening to them trying to be natural while reading them out is like nails on a chalk board.
