I like Eddie, chief is fine, WSD is a scourge on the earth itself. Most uninformed yet confident human I’ve ever listened to, have never been wrong ab anything in his existence according to himself, his primary source

These guys used to have such a grip on the podcast game. I love their energy and vibe, but it feels as though they just do not care anymore. Other bears podcasts are putting out way more content and are only honed in on one sports tea. The stretch has an entire city of sports and can barely manage to get 2+ a week.
