  • Straight sparks

    Tried to write a review for straight fire McIntyre. It goes for the whole Volume page. THEIR ARE TOO MANY SHOWS IN THIS FEED. I skip 1/2 of them and just subscribe to other streams if I really like the show to get it there. . Jason m has a lot of contacts in sports. He has a lot of info. However, I couldn’t get through a whole episode. It’s boring.
