Customer Reviews
Hmmm…???” A line of coke off the Popes…
personal toilet seat” you say? Why, yes. Yes I would like to hear more about that dude
I truly don’t like sports…
… but I do love this podcast!
I don't have a single spare thought for sports
For years i couldn't walk by a sporting event without getting hit by the ball, the feeling is mutual. This is the best show for someone like me. It's about the people who played the sports and a plethora of fun (heartbreaking or hilarious) facts about them and sport history. I can now carry on sport conversations without feeling woefully inept. Sports might not be for you but this show is.
