Long time listener , love the pod 5/5.. however,please god fix Christian’s audio. I dunno if dude needs a new mic or it’s just the levels that need to be adjusted, but it’s painful. Also sounds like he’s doing it from his bathroom , to each his own. 5 outta 5 pod, but let’s get Christian sounding as crisp, level, and clear and blandy and Barry .
Waited a bit. Cause I have hopes every year. And I apologize. I Hadn’t been able to listen as frequently as I’d like. So not sure if respects had been issued and I missed. But had to say I told ya so. Insanely as it sounds. Our Knicks are a capable TEAM with Brunson. And simply bringing that aspect to something the Knicks hadn’t had in decades.

Long time listener and fan of these fine gentlemen. I took a hiatus from listening to the show for about half a year but we back baby. Today, I listened to a podcast and it was just as good and entertaining as always. The hosts just mesh well with one another it’s evident that they are all very close friends. In my opinion, what’s sets this show apart and makes it appealing is the humor and sense of genuiness that the hosts provide. Keep up the good work fellas!

A pod that captures the joy and despair of being a Knicks fan without getting sucked into negativity.
Since smashing (and getting smashed) 6 episodes in a week the guys have kept it rolling. Craig is as erratic and melodramatic as ever, post-Game Barry is fuelled up and ready to roll and Blandy remains spectacularly ordinary.
