Customer Reviews
Overdue Praise for Wosny
Wosny is a great addition and guest. I have been critical of other Ringer adds having bad grammar, use of ‘like’ and uninteresting takes. Wosny is none of those. His insight and thoughts add to this podcast. Keep him involved.
Forcing bad guests on us
Is tending to the way people like Wos and Seerha talk either yelling or saying the word “like” over and over is unbearable. Then hearing Bill put up with it because he’s afraid of falsely being accused of being racist again is disheartening.
1 episode please you don’t have 2 mention LeBron!
William be on LeBron’s Richard more then Savannah my god give it a rest bro !!!!
