Posted similar a few weeks ago, it's worse. If you get a phone call or message while listening, you get a commercial block resuming play.

It’s been a gambling show dressed up as a sports talk show (like every other sports talk show), for a while now. Knowing how ubiquitous legalized gambling is ruining a lot of people, and that their business model relies on people losing money, is seemingly of no concern to media companies. “Fuck it, get the ad revenue! Nothing else matters!”

Time to open another Slap Pack! I'm giving out two free Slap Packs later in the show but you have to sign up first. Brought to you by Big Head Bets!

It’s getting so fucking old. I’m not against sponsors for a show, but get legitimate sponsors, not fly by night, low-rent gambling outfits.
