  • Great energy and banter

    The sarcasm and humor on the show can be A1. The camaraderie the guys have mantra the shoe a great listen for starting your morning and getting into your routine. There are days where I want less banter and more sports talk/deep dives. Dave’s sports knowledge is admirable though. I understand why he gets paid to talk sports.

  • Used to be good

    I used to really enjoy listening to this show when Canty was on. After his departure, Dave and Rick turned it into The Voice, where all they want to do is spend half of the show talking about nonsense and their own drama. Rick is annoying AF and acts like a petulant child. If I listen at all anymore, it’s on fast forward on the app.
