- No good
This is a terrible podcast if you wanna listen to it for the Rangers if you wanna listen to someone complain about the Mets is the one for you ! GREG is awful. The only time it’s good is when they have guests on.

I’ve been a Blueshirts for 45+ years. My earliest memories are of the Rangers. In all those years this is arguably the best outlet for news, perspective, fan therapy and humor. Love the guys!

Leave the social commentary at the door, no one tunes in for that. Just root for your national team without disclaimers.

Big fan of the show. First time long time yada yada. Can we lower the volume of the intro music of Vince’s show. It’s so loud and scares me. Thank you, you 3 guys are great. XOXO LETS GO METS
