    I listen for Murph but love how fun the show is as a whole. Cooler of Content is probably my favorite segment. What Did Young Tony Ask Today is another great one.

    Murph: says a bunch of stuff. Mac: “Yeah, yeah!” No surprise he says things like: “I feel you a million percent.” And on Monday, re: Dre Greenlaw, a black player: “That’s my boy. That’s my boy, right there!”
