  • Would make for a fantastic YouTube channel

    Been listening less and less as the ads run longer and the material runs shorter. The guys have great energy and share some really interesting thoughts and insights. There’s a lot here worth listening to, you’ll just have to skim past the first few minutes and live with a lot of theatrics. If they’re going to continue with the current direction, I’d rather see them focus on YouTube videos.
