  • Birm is the best

    Period end of story. Dude who said he should lighten up? That man has helium in his soul. He’s light and airy and witty and the smartest voice on that beat by miles so go pound sand and learn you some sarcasm lessons, son.

  • Birm is a sad character

    He is so serious, never laughs, etc. Takes himself way too seriously. Hope he lightens up a bit.

  • Not interested

    Not sure why so many people loved these guys on THE Podcast. The best thing about them is they made me appreciate how good Bill Landis is. Funny that the show description says they’re “trusted insiders.” They may be insiders, but I don’t know trusted is a word many would use about them anymore.

  • Love it but…

    Love it but… I need the Notebook back in my life. I know Adam’s got his post game show and that likely complicates things. But we gotta figure out a way to make it work!

    (I reserve the right to be wrong about its lack of existence and will happily be pointed to another channel in this case, as I only listen to audio)
