  • Great Show, but Take off the gloves!!

    Love the show, guys!! I especially love that compilation portion and really appreciate all the work Tim put into it. He’s great. However, he’s been way too nice as of late. Jeff and Ben have complained so that now the thing’s so easy. It’s like they’re playing on a 7 foot rim. It’s time for Tim to take the gloves off and really let them have it. NO MORE MR. NICE HOST!!

Album Selection opens doors for this listener because of the multiple in-roads an album offers. I didn’t, in Season I, tend to look to an album of an artist new to me if I didn’t like the Boy’s Favorite S... more
