  • Great podcast

    I really enjoy this podcast. I really wish you would record your shows at a louder volume. Every time I play your show I have to turn up my device (or car radio) up to 75-80% of volume just to hear you. Then after your show is over my next podcast starts blasting. So I know it is not my equipment it is how your show is being recorded.

  • Love Rasheed in season 1, not so much on the podcast

    Loved him in bbq showdown, he was one of my favorites, humble and all, not so much on the podcast. He came off as so full of himself, I’m DaKing, I’m not gonna support him at all
