  • Ehh

    Louder isn’t better, it’s actually annoying. At least Bull and Dustin knew when to reign in the other. Tough listen most of the time.

  • Very Average

    Nick Wilson isn’t for me. Dusty is good when he does show up (1/2024 appears to be going through a personal crisis so he gets a pass)

    Kudos to the producer for getting good national guests. Not sure why the guests put up with Nick.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

JP's mascot beef and are fans invested in Myles winning a second DPOY?
Q: How invested are we in Myles Garrett or Carson Swessinger winning a yearly award at the NFL Honors tonight?
Nick expresses that he has already given the award to Myles and is not overly invested in it, while Jonathan feels the same way but acknowledges it will be nice to see Myles receive personal recognition.
Joe DeLeone: Ty Simpson at No. 24 would be great value for the Browns
Q: Can you give me some of the guys? I know last week I asked you about the Browns of pick number 24 and what type of tight end class this is.
I think that now that there's clearly a picture for what they're doing with tight end, Fanon can be a really good F tight end, which he's going to be more of a threat in space.
Joe DeLeone: Ty Simpson at No. 24 would be great value for the Browns
Q: If that happens, is that a steal for the Browns or is that too high for the Browns?
No, I think that's actually great value for him.
How important are regular season wins for the Cavs?
Q: Is it okay to put importance on regular season wins with this team?
Yes, the recent dynamics suggest that regular season wins matter more than just getting to the postseason now that the team has changed significantly with new acquisitions.
What makes a great Super Bowl?
Q: Does it really matter if the Super Bowl is good or not?
The hosts discuss how while a good game can enhance the experience, the overall event should be enjoyable regardless.
