When Dan Wetzel hosts this show it’s so much more fun. Reece Davis is an incredible talent but Dan is just fun in this format. Let him cook. And man the episodes he did with Pat and McGee were such a treat. Sure would love more of that trio please!

Whether you’re young or old, if your opinions are based on a knowledge of sports — and sports history — that goes deeper than what’s “trending” today on Twitter/X and TikTok, then this is the podcast for you. In other words: it will provide you with much-needed reassurance…that you’re not the Last Sane Woman or Man in America. Or to put it in another context: If you know who Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and the Rolling Stones are — in other words, you understand that One Direction and K Pop didn’t actually “invent” good music to listen to, while you’re driving in your car or working out at the gym — then, my Brothers & Sisters, THIS is the sports podcast for you!

Love the show.
Great college football talk and keeps me informed about the big games each week. Great insight from veteran guys.
Pete’s microphone does need a bit of help.

I have listened and subscribed to this podcast from the very first episode. The only other time I sent in a review (also five stars), it was to ask David Pollack a question about what he’d eat on a deserted island, which you guys actually addressed on the show! However, I have to write in and ask you guys to please, please acknowledge the other bowls besides the Playoff games. I get it that those are by far the most profitable and consequential games, but if you’re going to kick off the bowl season with a podcast, I (and others) actually tune in to hear your thoughts on WVU vs. Memphis, not *just* conversations about the playoff for the millionth time. Love you guys, will always be a loyal fan, just please don’t forget about the “little” guys (even those from the B1G and SEC)!
