Fix the sound

I only listen occasionally now because usually the sound is horrible. Get a new mic man.

Love the show, but the Borris episode, really?

Jonah, I know you’re on the players’ side, and I have a lot of places I’d love to discuss this, but when we got to Borris’ comment about “performance enhancing drugs” and Bonds, and you didn’t call him out about the allegations of the substances officially banned by the rules (whether anyone agrees with that or not) and the administration of “Tylenol” to reduce a fever...c’mon man.

Get a better mike

Five star content and one star sound quality.
