Customer Reviews
Pretty decent but…..
It’s a great podcast. Well recorded too, but there is WAYYYY too many ads!!!
Cubs “Resources”
Old Man Ricketts? That cheap Nathan Bedford Forrest wannabe? Get serious. Old Man Ricketts wants to make Cubs players pay a daily locker fee. And buy their own toilet paper. *** MLB’s Witt > Rutschman = Nepotism *** Three of the 2022 Top 11 not on the 2021 Top 100 only serves as further proof of your laziness, incompetence, unprofessionalism, and lack of knowledge.
Jim-Boy…Ohh, Jim-Boy
ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE interview with Jacob! Thank you Mr.Misiorowski and Mr.Callis. Huge fan of the pod, now an even BIGGER fan of Jacob.
