  • Liberal viewpoints only

    Feel free to listen to this show if you are a liberal, if not you better avoid it as the show hosts will berate you with divisive questions and then get mad when you reply with a logical response. These guys are absolute clowns

  • Good Questions! Great Questions!

    Has anyone noticed that Mike and Jason ask a lot of great questions on the HalBro Show? Someone should keep a running tally every time they get a “Good/Great Question" comment from the guests.

    They’re currently on a “Great Question” heater in January. Brough has asked 7 “Great Questions” and 4 “Good Questions.” Halford has asked 1 “Great Question” and 3 “Good Questions.”

    Who will have the highest score by the end of the year? Keep it on the dial and listen to Halford and Brough in the Morning.... more

    I’ve been listening daily for about three years now and this show makes my day every time. I appreciate the banter the guys have and love the small tid-bits from Laddy & A-dog. Thanks boys! You rock.

  • The best way to start the day and live, really

    After years of listening it only gets better. The wisdom, the humor, the banter and the commiseration of the experience being a Canucks fan. Somehow they blend the dark and the light with authenticity and the impossible balance of self-deprecation and fierce Canadian hockey passion. Love the dogs, love most of the guests. They never coast.

  • Amusing & Entertaining

    The Halbro crew keep the subject matter and discussion relevant to the local sports scene, you don’t need to listen every day to understand the banter. It’s a fun way to spend your commute.

    Bravo boys!
