❤️

Will miss you guys together. Thanks for being a bright part of lockdowns. ❤️

Bobs beats ,

Gone from a must listen, to a gap filler.

Unfortunately just not the same without Ariel. No fault of DC or RC, the blame squarely on ESPN.

I sit and wait patiently for Ariels new show to launch on Spotify.

Sorry guys, Avid listener to sometimes listener.

Can't wait till ariel hellwanni's mma hours back

ESPN this was not the move, I'm sure he's a good bloke but RC makes this unlistenable he offers about as much depth as a YouTube comment section, Also no one Listens to an MMA show to hear about basketball and football.
