    Saturdays are about football and this podcast. Not necessarily in that order. Grateful for the range of topics explored in a refreshing and authentic way. Nick and Joe don’t agree on everything but their mutual affection and appreciation for each other enhances the chemistry and dynamic of this excellent podcaster.
