  • 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.”)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Star Wars Character, Lord of the Rings Location, Metal Band or Hockey Prospect | WRAL’s Pat Welter Joins Toucher & Hardy | - 9/16 (Hour 2)
Q: Pat, what is the status of the investigation?
Pat Welter outlines that internal investigators are still asking questions about drug use and sexual relationships, that Steve Belichick remains on medical leave, Lombardi is out, and the program is facing ongoing scrutiny and financial pressure, with a potential 'come to Jesus moment' depending on what the investigators uncover.
Andrew Callahan Joins Toucher & Hardy | AJ Browns Purpose on Patriots | Two Stats One Lie - 9/16 (Hour 3)
Q: What do you think is the biggest adjustment for Drake May as he faces top defenses?
The guest emphasized sustained patience, understanding what the defense is showing, and avoiding forced throws in late-game situations, citing historical examples of quarterbacks who learned to manage games without forcing plays.
Phil Perry Joins the Show | Christian Gonzales, Still Not Paid | Walk on the Wild Side - 08/25 (Hour 2)
Q: What's the current stance on Christian Gonzales' contract and why is it a sticking point?
The discussion centers on the balance between guaranteed money, overall guarantees, and the market reset versus the Patriots' need to maintain cap flexibility and depth, with some suggesting a higher fully guaranteed figure would be justified if Gonzales is valued at the top of the market.
Andrew Callahan Joins Toucher & Hardy | Keion White Will Take ALL The Melatonin! | 2 Stats 1 Lie: Preseason Edition - 9/2 (Hour 3)
Q: What is your concern going into the season for the Patriots in terms of depth and attitude?
The guests and hosts discuss depth as a major concern, noting that while talent is up, the team needs to prove it can build and sustain depth through coaching and development, with emphasis on continuity and the coaching staff's ability to maximize a deeper roster.
Shooting the Breeze | Christopher Price Joins the Show | GQ Jalen Hurts Interview - 9/3 (Hour 2)
Q: Do you think Gonzalez will get done before week one?
Christopher Price explains the strategic incentives for both sides and predicts that a deal is likely to be reached before the season starts, given the team's needs and the player's leverage.
