  • 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!
