  • Amazing minus brodes

    Ike spike and fritz are the best but that brodes guy makes me change the station every time, he’s painfully unlistenable not funny smart charming or anything just loud. So 5 stars for the boys but penalized 2 stars for the YouTuber

    Love this program for the comedic chemistry of the Varsity squad: Ike, Spike, and Fritz. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because this Brody Hunter DB is loud, obnoxious, and absolutely unlistenable.

Full Show: Should Tanner McKee Keep the Eagles QB Job?

Top 5 Best Ike Reese Bits

Hour 3: Why Eagles Players Will Rally Around Tanner McKee
Q: What do you remember about the team rallying around Jeff Garcia, and what made that special?
