Great show

My name is Jonathan Exum, John Exum is my father. First, my pops is good man, a great father's and the podcast is amazing. About a year ago we had a falling out. I felt disrespected so I came on the podcast and wrote a bunch of bad reviews that I can't go back and erase now. I deeply regret these posts. My father is a great person, the podcast is informative, funny, and full of great topics. Everyone should listen.
