Jimmy,
The podcast has been particularly excellent of late - especially loved the annual roundtable with Schrager and Perloff. Even the wrestling talk has been relatively tolerable (please don’t block me).

Where else can you hear what Tirico ate that took him out for the Derby, or Orlovsky’s insane... more
