What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The chemistry between Max and Rich is entertaining to listen to and this show offers so many little gems. Great podcast overall!

E Logic · Apr 2026

Show gets better every episode. Comes off as good conversation nothing too scripted. The chemistry is great! One of my top five Pods to listen to and also watch on Netflix 🙌🏾

Jgarcia2742 · Feb 2026

Glad Max is back. Rich adds a voice and perspective you can’t find in many other places. The show needs Rich. The chemistry is growing. This is not just another pod with 2 guys saying the same tired things.

Juanito22x · Jan 2026

Love the pod. Great to get Max back and love Rich’s angle on things. Its a new angle to hear an agent in long form.

Podfeem · Jan 2026

Max is a total pro and knows how to crank out entertaining sports takes. Sometimes Rich has some interesting insights as well. The reason for my poor review is that I find Rich’s one-upmanship to be incredibly irritating. The last straw for me was today when Rich interrupted Max to say “I told you that!” after Max said “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Rich… that’s a common idiom. There are too many instances of Rich trying to frame himself as some sort of sage. Not saying that he doesn’t have wisdom or insights to share, but the constant credit grabbing gives me the ick so hard I felt compelled to share a negative review. Also, I think the frequency is too much. I don’t need to hear from these two 3 times per week. Feedback: - less episodes, maybe once per week - more guests - less cloths talk — these are two middle-aged men. I don’t need to hear them glaze each other about their sweaters/watches for 10mins at the beginning of each ep - Rich: try and play along and be ok being the butt of the joke sometimes. Max is good at sports media, follow his lead.

Margueritemerde · May 2026

I’ve been a Max Kellerman fan from when I first saw him on Around the Horn decades ago, I was super excited when he did the pod with Bill Simmons and announced this show. Unfortunately it’s dragged down by Rich Paul, I had never heard him speak at length until now and I realize why, the man brings absolutely nothing of value to the show, he’s just a slow, uninteresting, and frustrating listen, they have zero chemistry, and it’s not getting any better.
