  • Great new format

    Like many others, I’ve been around since the Hot Clicks days. It was a Instagram or Facebook reel before those even existed.

    One nitpick, the Joe Buck interview was awesome and the AI Joe Buck call at the end of the UM/Western Michigan game was incredible and has been replayed at my office all week. But….how do not ask him at least a hypothetical on what it would be like to have a major shuffle in the booth so close to the start of the season, ala CBS? You wouldn’t have to ask him to say if... more

  • Stardust & Peppermill

    Favorite podcast out there. You and Sal are awesome together. The last pod when you talked about going to LV brought back memories. We were undoubtedly both in the Stardust book at the same time. Scucci ran the book back then. Even sat next to Tark one

    Friday afternoon. The Peppermill was our go to late night food run.

  • Excellent Start to the New Podcast

    I’ve been a fan since I discovered Jimmy’s previous podcast while on my lunch break four years ago. While I was sad to see the SI Podcast come to an end, I’ve enjoyed listening to the first three podcasts of Traina Thoughts. The A-Rod episode was phenomenal and I enjoyed the honest and sincere back and forth between Jimmy and A-Rod. I’m looking forward to hearing which recurring guests will be on the new podcast and also new guests that will be interviewed. Also, I’m looking forward to the addit... more

  • Exceptional Inaugural Episode!

    Really enjoyed your interview with A-Rod. I’ve been a fan since he joined the Yankees and his candid answers reinforce my opinion of the player and man.

    Excellent job on having such a terrific and compelling inaugural guest.

    Thanks!
