P.S. STILL NO Bad Broadcast Catchphrase for the show. Several have come in so far:
If you have any ideas drop our producer Jay an email: jyandle@shaqfuradio.com.
Thanks,
In this wonderful, simple, and highly emotional episode, Mike and John allow the listeners inside to explore their feelings and emotions while addressing the macho male stereotype. `Question: When can we men drop the tough guy act?
The two funny men talk tough about the "hostile takeover" of the government by the likes of you-know-who.
Can anyone else not remember anything from high school? John Remembers some of the "highlights" John can't remember s#!t.
Thanks for listening. The Big Bad Broadcast is trying to develop a catchphrase for the show. If you have any ideas drop our producer Jay an email: jyandle@shaqfuradio.com.
