  • Never Know…

    Listen daily from Raleigh, NC. Love hearing O’dog on a regular basis. As somebody born in ‘93, he was a rockstar to youth hockey players my age growing up a Canes fan. Warning: you will pick up the ridiculous lingo thrown around this show the more you listen.

  • Declining in Quality

    Bryan Hayes and the O’Dog are great and drive content and light listening that’s funny and knowledgeable. Noodles and guys like Luke Willson ruin the show unfortunately. They’re always offended, they never provide a positive take or any information at all, and they always seem to be in a race to be offended and play the victim, despite being the ones encouraging the negativity in the first place.
