  • Used to Love This Podcast

    I used to love listening to this podcast, but Jimmy’s ridiculous and obviously forced dialect change has made listening impossible. I don’t know why he finds it necessary to speak like a caricature of how he thinks someone from the south talks. It’s actually insulting on a couple different levels.
