Dear Jon

So this is almost a decent show, I found it to be slightly entertaining at times but Johnny boy needs to cut down on his interruptions by at least half. Most of the time he adds nothing of value to the stories, and his witty moments are overshadowed by my annoyance with him for the constant butting in. He does have some good input at times but for me it was lost in all the boring bits. I swear after every sentence the other host gets out, he jumps in with some nonsense. There was one instance while the other guy was in the middle of his sentence, Jon tries to cut him off 3x with “I just heard” until he finally shuts up and lets him finish before adding his bit. I couldn’t listen to more than two episodes, it just bothered me too much. I started with one of the early shows so maybe I’ll try and listen to a newer episode before leaving for good. If you don’t mind the inane chatter of someone constantly trying to interrupt the actual story, then you’ll enjoy this.
