Customer Reviews
Marty Burp! 🤣
Great podcast overall…. But once I noticed how Marty literally burps-out every sentence, I couldn’t “un-hear” it! Too many Rogan-worship filets before the show… 🤣🥩
The Absolute Best Info for $BTC
I’ve been listening to TFTC for over two years and Marty is an absolute “natural” at interviewing…. Do your self a favor and listen cuz you’ll be years ahead of all things $BTC
Whitney Webb!
Brilliant ‼️
