  • UPDATE (no more) Holy ads Batman

    Great content and LOTS of respect for TC for going to the effort and expense to buy his IP back and make it available without being stuffed with ads! To be clear, I’m fine w some ads for players casts bc I’m not gonna pay a premium for everything I try or listen to but the corporate overlords had apparently been responsible for the absurd ad content. The decision to go it alone is commendable. And for that move alone I’m sending $$ your way.

  • You are so hard on yourself.

    I can hear it clearly in the past episode. Please find pauses and spaces to be nothing, for. a. Mo. ment.

    Your impatience in this interview is to be reflected upon. Or, just take it easy my man. You’re a good person. Relax. Be with your good family.

    It’s been said before: good content but on the current episode I’m hearing from 2023 there were 5.5 minutes of ads and promotional preamble, 1.5 min of content, then another ad break. Yes, I can and do fast forward but this ratio has me looking elsewhere.
