Ads and intro/outro are good but audio is barely there. Valenti sounds like he’s whispering at times. Listen in the shower but cash the ticket isn’t a problem. Love the show. Just wish I could hear it better.
Great show but please fix audio levels so all are at same volume. This week, Valenti’s levels were low, while Boomer’s and Simms’ level were fine. Other weeks a different mic is low. Whatever, end result, having to raise the volume to hear the lowest mic becomes an even bigger problem when going to an ad or when the podcast announcer comes on and my Bluetooth speaker is so loud I’m concerned I’m going to blow the speaker.
Tough look for Boomer with this obsession with ancient coaches. Asks Mike if he’s been living under a rock because Mike laughed at Rex Ryan. Relentlessly brings up Jon Gruden. These are only possibilities in the ESPN talk show bizarro world. Is this why CBS fired him?
I love this show and am happy to hear Mike talks more about football and other teams than the Lions. I start my Sunday with this show during the entire football season.
My only issue is that Boomer sounds like he is standing on the other side of the room, speaking.
After a rough first year, last year the show hit its stride. Mike and Boomer finally developed chemistry and the show let Mike show off his personality. Was about to be a power house. And now there’s a segment with Phil Simms. Brings the show to a screeching halt. Feels completely out of place and destroys the momentum of the show. Frickin’ Audacy man…
