Christi Flynn

Have you done an episode on Christi Flynn?
And if so, how do you feel about Travis McVeay being released because he was 16 at the time of the attack?

Hate Justin

Just want the facts- don’t really need or want the opinions and analysis from Monday Morning Quarterbacks! Justin thinks he knows “everything”, his constant sarcasm is cringe! Can’t listen anymore to these two fools.

Denise Amber Lee

These 911 operators are guilty too. She did nothing to help Denise and only got suspended for 60 hours?!? What?? She should have gotten jail time for not doing her job as a human being to help save Denise. This one makes me angry.
Great show guys! Thanks for all you do. 😁
