    Turn your angst to getting Koosman

    In the Hall of Fame. He’s thrown more innings to a lower ERA than seven Hall of Famers including Morris Sabathia Smoltz Eckersly and Mussina. As recently as 1984 Koosman threw 220 innings to a 3.20 ERA. He was 42 years old. Come on Bro!

  • Oh the pain of Joe and his wife.

    The podcast would be better without Joe’s wife constantly cackling and laughing in the background.

    Podcast gets especially dirty ol’ man creepy when it’s time for Joe to plug Manscape. 🥴

  • Curse of Mandino?

    What is your logic? Cohen is a big Trump supporter and Republican donor. Most people dislike Trump now because of Iran ICE and bimbos like Bondi Hegseth Noem and RFK Jr. Mamdani went to the White House and smooched Trump’s butt bringing Ford to City props as a photo op on the eve of Trump bombing Iran. Made Zohran look like a lackey. I didn’t vote for him but most of the city did so he’s not that controversial. Sports cut across political lines and are supposed to bring us together.

  • Shortened Pods

    Bro I love listening but the shortened podcasts are very annoying. I enjoy listening when driving and it’s annoying when you are cutting out over 15 mins in. I am sure you can get an intern or low level WFAN employees to assist in this problem. I hope it’s fixed sooner than later.

  • The shoe is cutting off at around half the shoe

    This is a great show but the show is cutting off and stopping at about the midpoint of the show. the last few episodes the full show cannot be heard and others have complained about the same thing. Could this be fixed so we could hear full show

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NY Post columnist Mike Vaccaro joins the show
Q: What inspired you to write about George Steinbrenner and the Yankees?
The guest explains that Steinbrenner's impact was multi-faceted—on the field, in executive decisions, and in shaping New York's cultural landscape—making him a compelling subject beyond a simple biography, with the aim of capturing the realism of his outsized influence.
Live From Hackensack Brewing with JJ
Q: What do you think about the possibility of Bill Belichick coaching again?
He will coach again because he wants to achieve the record for most wins.
Live From Hackensack Brewing with JJ
Q: If you could be the Jets, Dolphins, or Bills during their playoff runs, which would you choose?
I would choose to be the Bills, given that they won four straight division titles and have a strong team.
