  • Used to love this show

    UPDATE:

    Used to love this show but have unfollowed and stopped listening since they’ve brought in other people that ruin the dynamic. Very disappointed because this was one of my favourite shows

    Original review:

    So much hilarious information about the crazy world of sport and how it ties into the rest of the world.

    Have noticed some very slight factual errors from time to time but nothing that spoils the overall story.

    I wait with eagerness each week for the next adventure and madness.
