  • Immature

    Immature hosts who say “dude” a lot. The one guy who quit his full-time job to do their business (whatever that is) full-time makes sure to slide that in any chance he can get. They are “coaches” now and this is how they’re making their money, which is pretty sad cause they’re too immature to be coaches and are clearly just doing it to take people’s money and work the least amount possible. It’s embarrassing how ‘influencers’ can take advantage of their listeners. Just grow up.
