Bob Saget was a pedophile, like most of Pedowood. He was either killed out of revenge or to keep his mouth shut. His roast wasn't jokes. Hes a disgusting POS. Ashame to see AJ still worshipping these scumbags. We the People are awake now & there's no going back. Burn Pedowood Burn 🔥
love this show!!
AJ is awesome and I CANNOT reccommend the podcast enough. It feels like he is talking directly to you, and it's so refreshing to hear his take on things. He doesn't hold back and you know you are listening to someone who speaks from the heart. This podcast is a enjoyable mix of pop culture, Hollywood, and a hint of politics, all held together with AJ's honest opinions. Really a great listen.
AJ is the best. I love these podcasts
