  • Stop with the gun shots

    I love this show. I think Tony and Mike are national treasures.

    Stop opening the show with the terrible clickbait ad for your other espn podcast about somebody getting murdered. The gunshots and 911 audio are unnecessary and make me want to unsubscribe.

    Thanks.

  • Nice Voice

    Hey Wilbon, do something about that thing you call a voice. Years of screaming out Chicago nonsense has resulted in you having the most grating voice in broadcasting. Get treatment or better yet - quit.

  • Content great, audio is awful

    Great show but one day audio is too quiet next day audio too loud. How does an espn show the “world wide leader in sports” get put together so horribly? Fix the audio
