    Listening from Australia, I really enjoy the in-depth Pistons coverage that you obviously don’t get from the bigger podcasts. It’s nuanced insight that avoids homerism and the chemistry between Bryce and Omari really adds to the listening experience. Cheers!

  • Favorite Pistons Pod

    Omari covers the team very well, and Bryce brings some great, interesting perspective to the discussion. Highly recommend these guys, even if Bryce pronounces “milk” like a sicko

  • Easily the best part of this season

    Bryce and Omari got me through the ROUGHEST season of my life. They don’t sugar coat things when there’s just no good news, but they also don’t go off the rails complaining about it. They offer a ton of insight and are two of the most entertaining sports podcasters I’ve listened to. Highly recommend.
