  • Refreshing

    Love the show. Started listening back in 2021. I do miss Chaps and Kate, but I’m glad Cons kept the show going. I love the New additions with Ryan and Rob. Keep up the good work.

    They follow their marching orders very well. Good for them. Bold? Nah. American? Debatable. Pod? Sure.

  • Bring back ZBT

    This show is nothing now without Chaps and Kate….the new hosts are just annoying with no real depth in the discussions. Stop using the ZBT feed to promote this different show

    They can’t go one episode without talking about West Point or the Naval Academy. I miss the old ZBT!

  • Loved it more with the previous team

    The podcast as it is today, just has no magic anymore. It’s so frustrating to try to listen to now. I tried listening a second time, after not liking the first couple of episodes.

    New episode was an interesting topic… and it took 31 minutes to even get to it. The banter before was painful and labored. The lady loves saying “Umm….” a LOT.
