  • 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.
