  • Dylan

    Dylan has got to stop talking so much. He talks almost as much as the hosts, and it’s annoying. Dude, shut up.

  • Bound to Be the Best

    The Dynamic Duo of Brother Bone and my cousin Tyvis is hard to beat anywhere in the continent.

    With their unique combination of insight and wisdom, they bring a perspective on the Central Ohio Sports Scene needs, with just the right balance of humor and serious commentary.

    My only prayer is that they don’t get snatched away by some national media conglomerate that will have their show done in some forsaken place like Connecticut.

  • Haters Only Hate Because It’s New.

    This is a fantastic morning sports show. They keep it fresh and relevant. Bone and Tyvis have a great vibe together, and it’s pretty obvious that everyone who doesn’t like the show is probably over the age of 35 and can’t deal with change lol. After a bit of time they’re really starting to gel and I think they’re gonna attract a lot of new listeners. Especially a slightly younger better crowd. Was sad about the Man & Bone split at first but I think we just got 2 even better shows now. Will be li... more

  • I switch to HD3 at 6:00 AM

    I’m sorry but Tbone can’t carry his own show. He’ll always be an Ed McMahon and never a Johnny Carson. I couldn’t listen to him when Common Man was absent. He still can’t be succinct with any thought and over-explains everything. I really like TP however. I switch to Morning Juice on HD3.

T-Bone & Tyvis August, 19, 2026
Q: What does your day look like after you're on the air?

T-Bone & Tyvis August, 18, 2026
Q: What do you think about the Buckeyes being number one in the preseason rankings?

T-Bone & Tyvis August, 11, 2026
Q: What did Monken say about the differences he's seeing between the two quarterbacks?
He said both have impressed him, they've handled reps well, and Deshaun Watson has shown improvement while Shador has also performed well; the overall takeaway is gradual progress rather than a clear 'starter' yet.

Zach Jackson suggests Watson will start the season and the plan is to have him handle the majority of early games, with Sanders potentially stepping in later if needed, but the overall strategy depends on Watson performing at a high level.
T-Bone & Tyvis August, 6, 2026
Q: How do you balance the use of new portal players with the established roster to ensure cohesive performance?
