  • Political now!

    Was good now political rubbish. They think they cannot listen to Joe Rogan because of their crazy illogical radical ideology…

  • Look Elsewhere

    Would be a great show if not for Sean, this guy focuses too much on trying to cheat on his wife with other married podcast hosts. Real winner there. Would recommend The Xbox Two Podcast, My Xbox and Me, or XboxEra Podcast for a more informed/professional view.
