I just wish my wife found me as funny as Danny finds Craig
I don’t know

Gmanmurf

I like these guys and it’s hard to write this but I can’t listen anymore. Craig is the problem. He thinks he’s pretty cool. I can’t take one more movie or play analogy. I can’t take another one of his little liberal stabs at conservatives. His liberal pompous attitude can’t even hide for 1 hour. I felt bad for you guys watching the live draft. Your female producer saying there’s only 7 people who listen to the show. Well now there’s only 6. DK and Heif are cool and don’t have the EGO or narcissistic behaviors that Craig displays daily.
AI Sponsorship Killed this show

Aug 26

Connor Damewood

You’ve got the camaraderie and charisma between the three of you figured out. Hilarious show. Then you took an AI sponsorship on and ruined all the vibes. Just absolutely destroys the pod. Jarring and out of place, and worst of all, completely unnecessary. Would be 5 stars without AI of any kind. Lazy content.
