5 Star

Love Jason & Rosie! Love the show. A little afraid after all of the thank yous today that the show is going away. Hope not! You all are the best.

Tough look for our guy.

This would’ve gone better with less Rosie. She was fun when she wasn’t permanent but then she was too much all the time.
