Jimmy - I very much enjoy your show. I look forward to it every week. Great guests and a lot of fun. I’m not a wrestling fan but just skip through those parts. No problem. A couple of issues; 2) love the segments wi Sal. Love them. But SSL , enough with the bad language. You’re not tough. Not at all. It makes you sound bad. 2). Let Deitch have his show. When he’s on he’s constantly trying to one-up with you. Constantly dropping names. I listen to his podcast. Let him have it. Again, looking forward to the next podcast. A real great listen.
CBS TV contract with PGA

Hey Jimmy. Love the pod. With LIV taking the best players away from the PGA tour, do you know if CBS gets any money back from the tour in their TV contract, since the best players are no longer playing on the tour (except for the majors)? Thought I'd ask since you just had Dan Rapaport on the pod.

Big fan of the podcast, ESPECIALLY the WWE guests. I was wondering. Have you listened to the Talking Sopranos Podcast? It’s with Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa. It’s well done and as an avid fan of the Sopranos, I thought you’d enjoy it. I listen every Thursday morning as soon as the pod drops. Keep the stellar guests coming and I will continue to give 5 star reviews!! Peace and love..peace and love
Always entertaining

Look forward to every week and banter with Sal. Can you spell Dan’s last name right in the recent show title?
