this chick thinks its the italian mafia doing these crimes ??? is she retarded or just stuuupid ???
chinese & indians make more than white people in America. Racists define individuals by race.
now they're calling it "anti-viral" lol
They talk over each other so much. Joe especially.
Is Joe's job to be someone who doesn't know anything about what they're talking about and asks the dumbest questions?
I like the podcast, but Joe is so hard to listen to.
The producer narrates WAAAY too much. I listen to this for the show, NOT Katie Cramer.
this podcast is so terrible. waaay too much narrator introduction and for no reason. it sucks up too much time. yes, I fast forward, but it's so annoying to even have to listen to "her" speak
