- More than 22 yds
Why does everyone (Zack) say the broncos haven’t had an over 22 yd run in over a year or 2 years or whatever? Maybe I have your timeline wrong, but didn’t Badie bust a 40+ run week 3 vs. Tampa bay? 🤔. Great show though fellas every day listener…

United States10 months ago - Good Show
Show is good & I enjoy listening it while driving home from work. However, I am listening to more commercials than I am the actual show. Hopefully that changes soon
Apple Podcasts2NatedawgsneaksUnited Statesa year ago - I’m out
I’ve listened to every show since the new line up of Zach and Phil, I gave it a chance because I respect Phillip Lindsey, but I’M OUT. It’s a serious downgrade from the previous show and very robotic. Zach’s style is too structured and it’s just not entertaining. It’s stiff and forced. The takes from Zach and Phil are mediocre at best and you’ll hear them anywhere else. As a result they just agree with each other the majority of the time. BORING! Plenty of other guys in town that are at the game... more
Apple Podcasts1Lil that KillsUnited States2 years ago - Wrong direction
I miss the chemistry of Stoke with Zach and the substance of DMac. The station seems to want a different audience. So bye.
Apple Podcasts2TLGCOUnited States2 years ago - Like it, but the duo isn’t a great fit
Love ZB, but Phil just isn’t ready for prime time. He loses his line of logic, uses the wrong words or phrases too often and consistently mispronounces key names in sports, especially the Broncos. He was thrusted to prime time with no practice reps and I just don’t think he has it or adds to the show in terms of topics or takes.
