so let's get this str8 Dave you say everything should down but when it comes to you going and putting your kids ar risk you wont go to these places you say should be open. so it ok to risk others just not tour kids. hypocrite. infect yourself.
this was such an informative episode and honestly one of the funniest ones too. I really love how well your personalities just mesh and compliment each other!
loved this episode!!!
I listen to your podcast all the time. I'm a little disappointed in Chris tbh. AMI did the right thing by suspending Shawn until the case is finalized. that does not mean they think he is guilty but a criminal indictment is more serious than allegations alone. Shawn is an adulterer even if the case is adjudicated and he is found not guilty of rape. I wouldnt support a company who glorifies cheaters and if he is found guilty of rape, a lot of companies who allowed him to compete during this time should be held accountable for allowing him anyone near other competitors back stage.
love the podcast, should talk for two hours a week
my God Dave your kid is going to be the biggest wimp due to your coddling, spoiled, weak parenting. You are the parent yet you allow a 3 yr old to control things as if he is and its hurting him by robbing him of learning to be his own man and learn the crucial things humans need to survive. Your kid is weak scared and spoiled because your parenting is weak scared and spoiled.
The audio had been sped up to the point of it being intolerable. Not for me. Good luck to you.
