I wish the producer would edit out things like sniffles. It is good content that interests me probably more often than not but invest in a cough button or take the extra time to edit out the host's nasal noisemaking.
Love all of Richard’s NFL content lately: on Tony Romo, Dennis Miller/MNF, Troy Aikman, and especially the interview with Peter King. Can’t wait to read his new book!
I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion with Suzy Kolber. Perhaps there is a correlation between her being out of public view for so long and how much I enjoyed hearing from her. Whatever the reason, in the year-plus that I’ve been a regular-listener this episode goes on your Mount Rushmore (for me, at least). Hope to hear more like this one:-)
Richard, you can’t say “sort of” 70 times per episode. You’re saying it multiple times in the same parentheticals. Add in “uhhhhhmmmm” “you know” etc and the pod is becoming unlistenable. Please get an editor.
Sucks that he was mainly in character. Ive heard him when he was “Max” in an interview and he has a great mind for the business. Gets old hearing his “character” because while hes a great heel, the arrogance can be boorish.
