Great Show

Gab, your take on Germany fans if you’re not from there was kind of a joke but you’re still a machine with great information. Jules, you’re pretty good as well. I really like when you guys come on ESPN FC. That show has been amazing for years and I really hope espn doesn’t screw the pooch because the American side of the network has gone downhill since 2020. Anyways, just know that you guys have a lot of fans and listeners who aren’t always on social media.

Sexual Abuse

I love the show and listen to every episode. Occasionally I disagree with Gab’s takes but nothing serious until today. Sexual abuse is sexual abuse. That applies to whether male/female, female/male, female/female or as in the situation discussed today male/male. The notion that you diminish or are bemused by the idea of male sexual assault on another man is repugnant or ignorant at best. Check yourself, please.
