  • Used to be excellent

    Unsubscribed a couple of weeks ago, Steffs condescending tone got unbearable, it also got very woke which is a real shame.

  • Don’t listen - Mike Bubbins is insufferable

    I used to enjoy this podcast, but over time Mike’s ego has become unbearable. Listening to him is genuinely draining, and I’m baffled that the other two put up with him. He is one of the few people who has ever truly gotten under my skin.

    On top of that, he seems focused on getting everyone to become a Patreon member so he can fund another home remodel. Not cool. There are plenty of other podcasts to choose from you can skip this one.

    I won’t be listening anymore.
