  • Not Enough Portnoy

    Mr. Dave Portnoy’s opinions are not listened to or considered enough. He has the most knowledge of anything over anyone. Need more air time of Mr. Dave

  • Portnoy’s Monday Hell

    “Tuesday through Friday are usually fantastic listens, 5 stars! But Monday’s are so unbearably terrible. Portnoy talking for 2 hours over everyone else with Tbob and Meek agreeing with everything he says makes it unlistenable.”

  • Too much Portnoy

    Shows fun and entertaining 4 out of 5 days. Mondays are just listening to an insufferable narcissist who has to be right about everything never shutting up. Portnoy should stick to running the company and be less of an on air personality.
