  • Yikes

    Least favorite UCF podcast because some of the hosts. They are condescending to fellow UCF fans and have a “I’m always right” attitude, even when they are clearly wrong. They’re constantly changing their takes/opinions to try and credit how they’re always right, including digging up old tweets to say “told you say.” While they never do the same when they’re wrong. In my opinion, the show could use some fresh faces to host.
