  • Must listen

    Listened to an episode two years ago for flames commentary, stayed for the “professionalism”.

    Hockey is the only sport I follow but I still listen to every episode. Keep up the good work!

  • Listened for 10 min

    These two sound like two junior high boys with a mic before the morning announcements at school. Inside jokes and constant trying to be funny with immature giggling. Stick to sports -

  • So great

    Listen every drive in and catch the rest at night working in garage. The three of them are so great together. Pinder went from being a mediocre sheep auctioneer to one of my favourites. We are lucky in Calgary to have this show and not unlike others things unique to this city, it’s great here and hard to say if it would work in any other market.
