  • Do a proper research before you joke about certain people

    I listen to one episode to learn something, but realised you don’t know anything about you did talk about. All you did was making stupid jokes about certain people. If you don’t agree with some since and technology and to not bother researching the facts about it, it’s better to say nothing than the rubbish that comes out of your mouth. I tried to finish the episode but it was hard to do it.
