  • Worst NYR podcast

    Why do these computer cowboys talk about the Mets so much on a RANGERS podcast? Uninformed hosts and boring content.

  • Great Show But Enough with the Mets Already

    I discovered this podcast recently. After about five episodes, I find it enjoyable despite the long episodes and the Rangers’ disappointing year. Ryan is very good and brings a balanced view to the show. Greg is both insightful and often entertaining. My one criticism is enough with the constant NY Mets’ chatter and pointless analogies! Please! Many of us simply do not care! If I wanted to hear about the Mets all the time, I would listen to a Mets podcast. While some “occasional” MLB, EPL, and N... more

  • Don’t bother

    I did like this podcast at first but now I can’t even stand listening to it anymore. I’m sorry but if you don’t like the New York rangers then why are you doing a podcast about them? You’ve said it over and over again how the rangers aren’t even your team and if you weren’t doing a podcast about them you would never watch a ranger game again.

  • Some things never change

    I discovered the podcast last year. I went back to the beginning and started listening from its inception. I am currently in the year 2019. It is mind-boggling that I often forget that you are not discussing today’s team until you mention a name from the past and and I am reminded that you were talking about the 2019 team. Same issues. When will this organization learn?

  • Bromance?

    Do Ryan and Greg finally like eachother? Greg consoling Ryan on the Kakko trade reaction episode sounded like a friend talking another friend off the ledge after a breakup. “It’s gonna be ok buddy! There’s more fish in the sea. It wasn’t meant to be.”
