  • Sports nuts without lame hot takes

    Been listening to these two for years in Chicago, and am excited to listen to their national show daily. They are actual friends and just talk sports news and zoo news - they don’t do lame sports takes for clicks, which makes them way better to listen to. Give them a shot! Their old station is already missing their magic touch!
