Love this podcast!

I found Mike on AGT and wish I found him earlier because I absolutely love his comedy and this podcast. I appreciate the good advice and thoughtful ideas he brings up here. Worth a listen for sure. I don’t know what’s up with the star rating here but it isn’t working. It’s 5 stars from me.
