  • Ads ads ads

    This is a good show but there are so many ads. It opens with 1:30-2 minutes worth of ads. At some random point in the middle, it’s the same thing. The episode ends with even more ads, at least two minutes worth. Basically it’s 8 minutes worth of show and at least 5 minutes worth of ads.

  • Best talkshow in Cleveland

    Y’all do a great job very entertaining very informative ..

    I do have one observation since when has Mary Kay Cabot become the defender of Deshaun Watson ? Of course she’ll deny it because it’s her style, but she sure enjoys defending our QB1 ..

    This has nothing to do with his quarterbacking skills. We all seem to also forget our hometown hero is a a sexual predator

  • Commercials ruin it

    The show is good and the guys have solid takes with great interviews. However, the way the segments load up is unbearable. Ten minutes of content with 3-4 minutes of commercial breaks repeating the same thing throughout. Can’t listen anymore until they fix this. No other legit podcasts are formatted this way
