  • Why have guests

    Why bother having a guest on , when you answer your own questions. Especially when you have David Staples on you treat him very poorly, and really show your self centred bully mentality

  • Content great but formatting leaves a lot to be desired.

    I’d love to see you guys reformat content a little bit to fit the podcast format. I hate opening the app and seeing 4 or more clips for the same show. It makes me want to unsubscribe because it pushes my other podcasts down. You certainly aren’t the only sports radio program doing this which makes the issue worse in my view. Y’all please get together and figure this out.
