    Fairly recent listener to the pod. Unfortunately I started listening just when Dave went into the hospital. The massive outpouring of support and love for Dave and his family is quite remarkable. What a guy. Sure wish I would’ve listened earlier. Can’t get enough of Matt.

    This show is a must watch/ listen for new gamblers or anybody who wants to be entertained by sports talk. Matt and Dave keep it real and I enjoy not only the sports talk but more importantly how the guys talk about real life and how we can all be better people.
