  • A weekly staple for me.

    Smoldering chemistry. Lots of laughs. It’s the perfect mix of low-stakes banter and smart sports talk. Laura always brings it with the correct food takes. Cole steers the ship in exciting ways, but always brings it home safely. Did think it was odd that one of the hosts hasn’t seen Point Break.

  • Lotta laughs

    Laura and Cole provide a lot of laughs talking sports, and some random but fun reality tv recaps. But the best part is the guests they have on. They talk to sports commentators and reporters who give insights on current events in the sports world. Howie Rose was a great interview!
