Shocker of a pod 🤷‍♂️ usually you guys get it right but the comment that “this is an English pod” was way below your normal standards. This is a rugby pod and you were clearly playing to JM’s ludicrous evaluation of that game . England were a shambles and Scotkand should have won by more . If he can see progress in that mess he is delusional and you boys sadly played along . Embarrassing stuff guys 🤦‍♂️

Sorry, not watching because of BOB. He's a sports guy not a political interviewer. China Olimpic versus GW. Did Bob enjoy attacking his president. He wouldn't do that shit with the Chinese President. When did Americans stop respecting other Americans? Hey Bob, would you care to answer? I prefer to visit some video chats like https://mega.porn/en/p and talk with strangers than to listen to what he is saying.
