  • Mike Sielski wants women to be punched by men

    The main host of this program - Mike Sielski- referred to the Algerian Olympic boxer

    Imane Khelif as biologically female.

    Imane has XY chromosomes and is a biological man.

    Hopefully no woman Mike knows will have to be punched by a man.

    Perverted and immoral.

  • Good show

    I wonder if Glen knows that zero people care that he’s retiring??? It was amazing when Angelo finally left; god that guy was creepy. Six to ten AM is somehow even worse.

  • Tremendous but……

    Tremendous podcast but there is one problem with it and everybody I know that listens agrees with this. Two things can you please bring Mike’s microphone volume up……… and the second issue is Mike has a tendency to trail off at the end of his sentences to the point that you can hardly hear it sometimes I don’t know if it’s his voice or he’s backing away from his microphone. Other than that I look forward to it every week keep up the good work.

  • What We’re Watching

    How bout you bring a guest on to do this segment. I appreciate Mike’s sports intellect, but the guy has never even seen game of thrones. It’s like asking Jolly to do a cooking segment. Just have someone new each week come on and do some tv/movie reviews.
