  • 96% Not Soccer Related

    If dribbly wetness and boy championships are what you’re looking for in a trash pocket, then be prepared for horse talk, failing mayoral candidates and P……………………………tatoes.

    Pro tip: Never, ever listen to segment 3.

    May god have mercy on your soul.

  • Open up your ear holes celebrity fans

    Columbus’s hottest podcast is ACES Radio. This podcast has everything: boys, beeping noises, whiteboards, hashtangs, hot snakes, the weather forecast and an old man pretending to be cool while hanging with his fellow youths. That’s pretty dang cool.

  • Mid

    Really hoping the latest episode is an indication they are transitioning more into a Bluey-themed podcast than inane ramblings on the Buffalo Bills, the soccer club formerly known as Columbus SC, cuckholding, and beastiality.

  • Promo codes rock

    The promo codes are excellent, as are the quiet moments in between the rambling-nonsensical -sometimes-soccer-rarely-Bills-related content. Learned a lot about Cologuard and hernias in the latest.
