  • 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.

Who’s The Boss??? | John Karalis Join Toucher and Hardy | Adolfo’s Fart Challenge - 06/29 (Hour 2)
Q: What is Bobby Marks's view on Jaylen Brown's trade value and how does that contrast with the Celtics' metrics?
Marks suggests Brown's value may be high in certain markets but points out that the Celtics should set expectations based on market realities, while Karalis pushes back, arguing analytics should be balanced with eye tests and context.
AJ Dybantsa Joins Toucher and Hardy |The Email Bit | The Stack - 06/29 (Hour 4)
Q: So did you know, did you have someone preparing you for these NBA teams interviews, pre-draft interviews?
Yes, he had people helping though he did not have an agent initially, and he relied on a team around him.
AJ Dybantsa Joins Toucher and Hardy |The Email Bit | The Stack - 06/29 (Hour 4)
Q: OK, you did. It was what can you give us any of the advice that they shared with you on how to handle it or how teams might try to trip you up?
He recalls tips to avoid being tricked, to be yourself, and to stay genuine because teams will be with you daily.
AJ Dybantsa Joins Toucher and Hardy |The Email Bit | The Stack - 06/29 (Hour 4)
Q: All right, so take us through kind of the process of BYU season ends. Obviously, you know, you're going to be the top, you know, top one, two picks in the draft. If things go well, there's still a pre-draft process. Can you kind of take us through what happened from the end of the BYU season until you heard your name selected?
AJ describes going to LA for multiple workouts, living on a structured plan, and preparation that differed from college, including diet, film study, and staying authentic in interviews.
Joe on the Go Debut | Bill Koch Joins Toucher & Hardy | Giannis Trade Speculation - 6/22 (Hour 2)
Q: How do the Celtics get a higher first-round pick for this year's draft to sweeten the deal?
Analysts suggest they would need to involve a third team to pivot picks or include additional players, making the package larger and more complex, with the aim of obtaining a higher pick than 27th overall.
