Apple Podcasts5Hello. Gabe and teddyUnited States3 months ago - Best OU podcast and has been for years
I’ve listened to a long time and switched phones so now can add a review. This is by far the best OU podcast there is. If you want real thoughts and not just sunshine and rainbows, listen to these guys. They will tell you how they really feel (and be right most of the time) without pulling punches. I don’t always agree with their takes, but I absolutely respect them for how they will praise and criticize equally and have reasons to justify their point. If you are a sicko listen to them, if ... more

That's it. That's the review.
I don't do Twitter/Facebook anymore because of politics, so I can't send my 3 word reviews. Maybe y'all can reach out to RedDirtSport to be your official Bluesky account (or make your own)?
Apple Podcasts5p23570United Statesa year ago - Show overview
I’ve been listening to your podcast for nearly two years now, thanks to a common man Jed Castles. I love the fan perspective of it as you give a different perspective and aren’t always wearing crimson glasses and point out obvious issues. Sometimes I’m a bit more hesitant to agree but must admit you are correct and with confidence can say both of you have finally made me see that Barnes is a Jag. Great show keep up the work.
