  • My must-listen radio show…

    I’ve always loved AR and really respect his takes, opinion and yes, his love of animals and community engagement. While Matty is still young and needs a bit more travel and life experience to truly land with his takes and attempts at Gen Z street lingo hipness, I’m an avid listener and view this to be among the top two must listen shows on The Fan in Cbus. Great guests, stories, pop culture references and some timely reactions to real-life events and topics.

  • Insightful + Fun

    These two work great together. You wouldn’t be able to tell that Matt used to be a producer. He delivers his takes with confidence and energy. He also represents young people in a way that isn’t represented the same on other shows. Anthony doesn’t miss on a take either. His story-telling is great and I quite enjoy his movie references. Both guys are easy to like.

  • A classic revisioned

    Love the show, and I’ve always loved Roth since his days hosting The Buckeye Fever. Want to like Matty and at times I do, but his cluelessness about movie classics is dumbfounding. Also him not being a true homer and having favorite squads that aren’t in Ohio doesn’t fit. His takes are also borderlined at times and make no sense. His knowledge is also lacking in a lot of areas and it shows often as he stumbles over himself.

  • Best show on 97.1 hands down

    I listen to the fan only by podcast and recently stopped listening to the children on at 3-6. I couldn’t take anymore of the high school level humor. Rothman is the most professional and entertaining host at the fan. I like Matt too but he really needs to stop eating almonds during breaks. When they come back, he’s constantly making gross sounds, choking, etc. Kind of unprofessional. Matt, listen to your mother please!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rothman & Ice March, 5, 2026
Q: What is your early read on the Buckeyes and the Hoosiers Saturday at the shot?
Dockich says Ohio State has a real chance, driven by Mobley's hot shooting and the way the rest of the lineup has stepped up; Indiana has been up and down but is capable, so the matchup could go either way depending on execution and momentum.
Rothman & Ice February, 27, 2026
Q: What is the realistic formula for Ohio State to get into the NCAA tournament?
They need to beat Purdue and possibly another big team. Losing to bubble teams like Indiana would hurt their chances significantly.
Rothman & Ice February, 18, 2026
Q: What are the implications of this win for Ohio State's future games?
This win boosts their confidence and is crucial for their momentum heading into future games and the tournament.
Rothman & Ice February, 12, 2026
Q: From a former player's perspective, the system that he's running, just kind of the X and O stuff that you're seeing in the high level basketball you think he's capable of as a head coach?
I believe in Jake wholeheartedly. The guy that he has out there are more than capable.
Rothman & Ice February, 4, 2026
Q: What are your thoughts on being a dad?
It's been incredible. It's something we talked about right after our wedding was trying for kids.
