  • Great topics and personalities

    I’ve been listening to these guys for about 8-9 years back when I lived in San Diego. Moved away and still can’t get enough of them. They have done a good job of continuing to talk about SD sports while expanding to other topics outside of SD and it’s become a great daily show for me.
