  • Distortion

    When the caller is speaking their voices have a bad distortion. Hosts’ voices come through clear. Enjoy the show but the distortion makes it a pass on it. Jan 7 show

  • Did you know Bens a doctor?

    Ben is dragging the show down. At every turn he reminds you that he’s a doctor… it’s annoying. We get it, dude. Good for you. Stop beating your accomplishment over everybody’s head like you’re the only one to have ever become a medical professional.
