    Authentic, with tremendous range, they go back and forth down memorable lanes.

  • Sanders being black.

    I find it outrageous and shocking that Mail would suggest that Sanders was not picked until 5th round because of colour.

    He should be fired immediately and cannot see this being positive for his new baseball team

    Last time I’ll listen. Too bad enjoyed Griff.

  • You know what I mean?

    Quite enjoyed the podcast, format and point of views. If Mal could reduce the excessive use of the phase ‘You know what I mean’, it would be a marked improvement.

  • You Know What I Mean

    The content is great, but I have to unsubscribe & stop listening. If only every 4th sentence included the phrase "You know what I mean?" then perhaps I could bear it, but when it's every other sentence, it's too much.
