  • A Nugget in the Slop of Sports Commentary

    I have listed to Steve on and off since I got XM radio to help with my (for me) longish commute back and forth to work. He was part of The First Team I believe back then. I found his take on sports, society, and pop culture to be refreshing. Especially compared to the homogenized offerings at ESPN at the time. I think what I like about Steve is that he says what he thinks. In a corporate sports world he’s not going to get the notoriety and respect he truly does. Because he’s his own man. Thanks ... more

  • It ain’t the 4 letter

    Refreshing to have a sports talk show without the same ol’ beat to death topics and tired hot takes.

    Czabe and guests provide a good mix of sports and general life discussions which people can relate to, all of which keeps the show fresh and entertaining

    Keep them coming, and I look forward to the football season

  • The best.

    Been with Czabe for decades. Even before hot takes there was Czabe. The place to get sports discussion without agendas. You will get opinions, not fluff ( unless the topic is fluffy). The only sports talk I get is Czabe and Whitlock. Scores are on your phone. Man stuff, homie.

    Escape the real world for an hour or so - this is the podcast for you. Czabe has a very unique way of making you chuckle and think about sports, politics and life in general. I look forward to listening every day.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alien Life Discovered on Earth, Currently Dominating The Thunder
Q: What makes Wembanyama's game so transformative for the NBA right now?
His combination of elite length, shooting range beyond traditional bigs, and defensive versatility is reshaping how teams build around a modern big, signaling a shift away from the old inside-out model toward a more perimeter-focused, multi-position approach.
The World Baseball Classic, Delivered Just That... And More!
Q: Question 1: Do you believe in a holy and existential God?
The host frames the line of questioning around big existential beliefs as the most priority, inviting introspection and personal belief without rushing into a definitive stance.
The World Baseball Classic, Delivered Just That... And More!
Q: Question 10: If you could go back in time and attend any concert, which artist and city would you choose?
Mozart in his first public concert as a child prodigy, with the idea of framing the ticket and later selling it to a mind like Darren Revelle, illustrating a playful time-travel fantasy that intertwines music history with a nod to sports media personalities.
If A Two-Dimensional Strike Zone Meets A Three-Dimensional Slider... (w/ Mr X)
Q: Tell me your thoughts on the ABS 3D versus 2D geometry of Robo-Ump 3000.
Mr. X argues that real umpires can call a three-dimensional strike zone and that the visual box on screen is misleading; the box's height is inaccurate, and accuracy is less important than the wider issue of consistent, intuitive interpretation of strikes that align with game flow and human judgment.
Lindsay Vonn's Gamble: Athletic Arrogance or Pure Foolishness?
Q: What would you tell Lindsay Vonn if she consulted you about skiing again?
I'd assess her physical readiness and weigh the risks based on her past injuries and overall health.
