  • Meh

    The SNL parody of NPR in an MMA podcast. A great show if you’re having trouble getting to sleep.

  • The OG of MMA Podcasts is still going strong! George and Goze are a great team and do a great job of making you feel like part of the family. I do miss the caller call-ins, but still a great show without them.

    Used to be great back in the day, now it’s awful. Just heard them debate if Rousey, Cyborg or Nunes is the goat. It’s not a subject anyone with any kind of mma knowledge shud debate.

This is by far the most entertaining podcast out there in any category, not just mma. The hosts, Georgeous George and Goze are top notch and are very entertaining. The two time MMA Journalist of the Year John Morgan is a fun addition to the group on days he's able to make it in and is the hardest working man in mma journalism.
