  • Stoneys Great. Jon’s a cult member

    Jon Jansen said knowing the other teams plays are not an advantage. This dude is so far from honest it is like tuning into North Korean or Russian media.

  • Costa is unbearable

    I skip every episode where Costa is filling in. His takes are uneducated, thinks he knows everything, overly critical of irrelevant details, unlistenable.

    Stoney & Jansen are great

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

8/10/26 - How would you label this upcoming week for the Tigers, Tarik Skubal speaks (again), Lions Training Camp headlines, Is it fair or foul to not wear a tie to a traditional wedding?
Q: What is the big storyline for the Tigers this week?
The Tigers are trying to grab a playoff spot with series against the Guardians and White Sox, needing to win to move into solid playoff contention and potentially secure a division or wild-card position.
Hour 2: Dating a NFL cheerleader
Q: Is it worth dating an NFL cheerleader given the attention and schedule?
The guest suggests that dating someone who is busy and publicly visible can work if there's trust, clear communication, and mutual respect for each other's time and boundaries.
Dear Jon - Should I date an NFL cheerleader?
Q: Dear Jon, a high school classmate who is now a Titans cheerleader and single asks if dating an NFL cheerleader is worth the hassle given public attention. What's your stance?
If you trust her and there's mutual respect, dating is reasonable. Yes, there will be guys who look, but the key is trust and setting boundaries. Don't let public attention overshadow the relationship; focus on the connection and communication.
Dear Jon - Should I date an NFL cheerleader?
Q: Dear Jon, I'm 26. My aunt and uncle recently got divorced after 12 years of marriage and nearly 20 years together. How should I navigate continuing a relationship with my uncle while respecting my aunt's wishes?
It's okay to continue a relationship with him, but keep it low-key and respectful. Don't flaunt it in front of your aunt, and avoid discussing her with him; act in a considerate, discreet way that honors the family dynamics while recognizing that your life and bonds with your uncle can still exist.
Dear Jon: Grill Upgrade
Q: What are your thoughts on upgrading to a Blackstone grill?
It's worth it if you have space; it expands cooking options and pairs well with existing grills, but it's best as a complement rather than a standalone upgrade.
