  • Quite good!!

    I deeply miss Mark Gemelli and I disagree with their takes on Sonic Youth, but this show is the best on the radio. Inspired local sports coverage crossed with Stern. What discriminating listener could ask for more. (Try listening to “Schizophrenia,” on “Sister.”)

  • Not a sports show

    This show is 100% garbage. It’s not a sports show and it’s not funny. Proof positive, I’m halfway through the episode the day after the eagles chief Super Bowl and they’re talking about Larry david and jeans on a episode titled “what happened last night” You should’ve stayed with Zo and beetle, hardy!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SURPRISE Call from Cedric Maxwell | The Email Bit | The Stack - 5/11 (Hour 4)
Q: What did you think about the elbow incident involving Victor Wembanyama?
There is a balance between competitive play and sportsmanship; the incident is serious, but the league will weigh context, intent, and history to decide a suspension, if any.
Matching Tattoos! | Tim Healey Joins Toucher & Hardy - 5/11 (Hour 3)
Q: What's Tim Healey's take on the Red Sox's chances given their recent play?
Healey suggests there's a realistic path to the postseason if they can get hot, but cautions that several other teams are competing for the same spots, making the wild card race a tough backdrop.
Tyler Milliken’s Trauma | Cedric Maxwell Joins Toucher & Hardy - 5/8 (Hour 3)
Q: What did you make of Jalen Brown's comments about this being a favorite season for him?
Maxwell viewed it as a reflection of the team's surrounding players and an acknowledgment of the role he played, not a dig at anyone, and he felt Brown's comments were his own perspective on the season's dynamics.
Creed Cruise | Cedric Maxwell Joins Toucher & Hardy! | Wallach’s Brother in Law Checks In - 5/1 (Hour 3)
Q: What album was your go-to during coitus?
Max answers with a classic rock pick and uses the moment to segue into broader talk about era-defining bands and the energy of live performances.
WHICH HOST IS THAT?! | Joon Lee Joins Toucher & Hardy - 4/28 (Hour 3)
Q: All right, so you wrote a very good article about like kind of what was going on in the Red Sox organization and used the term toxic positivity. Can you explain?
Lee explains that the Red Sox have prioritized a positive, reactive stance shaped by private equity and data-driven approaches, often at the expense of acknowledging real performance issues or listening to front-office voices, which creates a culture where people feel unable to speak up.
