4.8 out of 5 stars from 3.9k ratings
  • I love them but this is brutal

    I love these guys but it’s a painful listen. Both these guys can do solid work but they’ll use bad language just for a pop and ramble about nonsense. I think it is just a failed project in my opinion. They need new partners to engage me.

    (SportsIslandClub YT for full review) I love Shannon I’ve been watching since Skip and Shannon and I wish Shannon the best and continued success. If he ever gets back on TV like he is with First Take I will watch but I finally decided to unsubscribe personally because the show isn’t for me. I don’t want to hear Ocho say godd$@@ every other sentence. There are other educational things I can be listening to instead of getting dumber every time I listen to this. I got to classify it as gutter mater... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Best of March Madness Part 2: Unc & Iso Joe CLOWN Duke for FUMBLING their Final Four chance on UConn's Game-Winner, T-Mac JOINS THE SHOW
Q: What makes the MVP discussion open-ended this season?
McGrady suggests that value comes from overall impact on both ends of the floor and team context, implying that the MVP should reflect a player's influence on wins and the team's depth, not just pure scoring.
Deebo & Joe - Part 2: Big Ben's AFC North Predictions, Shedeur Sanders' Development, Steelers Memories
Q: What was your first impression when you met Deebo?
I didn't remember him in college much, but when we met, he handed me the ball and showed there was a genuine, respectful teammate behind the persona; that moment established immediate respect.
Nightcap Hour 1: Iso Joe PULLS UP on Ocho + Prairie View A&M’s Dontae Horne JOINS Nightcap + Miami Ohio BEATS SMU for FINAL SPOT in MARCH MADNESS + Lakers COOK the Rockets + Deandre Ayton has STEPPED UP his GAME
Q: Dontae, how were you able to pull this off and get Prairie View into the NCAA tournament victory and advance to face Florida?
Dontae credits belief in their defensive system, trust in teammates, and relentless effort as the core reasons for their historic win and momentum heading into the next round.
Nightcap Hour 2: Quinshon Judkins WEIGHS IN on HC Todd Monken + Claressa Shields BELIEVES she can BEAT a Rolly Romero + Logan Paul VS Le’Veon Bell + Dan Hurley GETS HEATED at REF + Lionel Messi MAKES $70-80M with Inter Miami
Q: Would Claressa Shields' confidence translate into a legitimate matchup against a male opponent if circumstances were different?
The discussion centers on the physics and biology involved, with the hosts noting that even with confidence, physical advantages and safety considerations would heavily influence any potential matchup; they admire her self-belief but acknowledge practical limits.

Q: Is there a scenario where a ring-tested star could beat a world-class boxer if they trained seriously for a cross-sport bout?
The hosts generally acknowledge the level of skill and conditioning required, suggesting that while a spectacle could occur, the likelihood of a non-boxer defeating a top boxer is low, and they emphasize respect for the craft and the risk involved in such matchups.
