  • Less Matt, More Sports

    Such a great group of personalities, but growing tired of Matt talking about himself. Need more Drew and Ryan, less Matt talking about how many shows he does. I’ve never heard someone tell the audience how many shows they did over the weekend. Ive never heard another personality at his level tout “how many shows he did”.

  • Love KSR. Remove Cover Zero

    Can we stop posting another show to this feed? I get the episodes twice. Let people decide if they want to listen to both. That’s why you have a separate feed.

  • Show great, I DONT subscribe to Cover 0

    KSR is great

    Stop putting other shows on this feed, annoying. I know it’s petty but if I wanted to listen to his interview or NFL podcast, I would. Take it off this feed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026-01-08- KSR - Hour 2
Q: Would you rather win pretty much all year, maybe five losses on the season, make the tournament and lose in the sweet 16 or before, or have a season like we're having now, somehow sneak in with a 10 seed?
I will always pick tournament success.
2025-12-29- KSR - Hour 2
Q: What did Matt Jones think about his first play-by-play experience?
He felt that he prepared extensively and was excited about the game, even handling it well despite nerves.
2025-12-17- KSR - Hour 1
Q: Are we just kind of stuck until this JMI deal goes away?
If they lose all these basketball players, then I think JMI is going to have to change their deal, or UK is going to have to change their deal, so that they get these elite players.
2025-12-17- KSR - Hour 2
Q: Could you help us and dig into Senate Bill 3, and then look at the SCORE Act and the SAFE Act?
I will do that. That's going to be a long conversation; I will do that on an interrupted podcast probably after Christmas.
2025-12-17- KSR - Hour 2
Q: I want to know your thoughts and if it should be one of those things that should remain separate from the rest of the football world.
I like that Army-Navy gets its own slot, Shannon. I don't know if it needs its own day.
