Get Up - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I enjoy the show and the content-usually very entertaining and informative. And I understand repeating topics and discussions in multiple hours of a show like this. But too often I'll find problems like the second hour being a literal repeat of the recording of the first. Or like this week, when Wednesday's edition was the same recording as Tuesday. Someone just needs to pay a little more attention or it's too frustrating to keep a subscription.

The show is pretty good, but the podcast management is the worst I’ve ever seen from a major company. There will be ad breaks in the middle of sentences, and audio will just cut up and skip over itself for the length of an episode. Also, sometimes the audio is unbalanced, so if you’re using AirPods, the left ear will have more sound than the right one. There’s also days where the right episode isn’t even added. ESPN could do so much better than what is being put out as of right now.

Used to love this show and Greeney, but so tired of hearing about Aaron Rogers and the Dallas Cowboys every day all day, even through the offseason (thinking of last offseason too). Miss the NCAA tournament coverage they would do leading up to it, other sports, etc. They have largely gravitated away from much else over the years. It’s made me miss Mike and Mike, which I didn’t think I would - I thought Greeny had a good thing going. Anyways if the NFL is your thing, sometimes the NBA, and you’re mostly interested in a few alluring figures and teams, you will love this.

Mike G is a talented host; funny, informed, likable, uses the perfect amount of self-deprecation. The guest commentators are always great, and they bring a level of credibility by way of experience as ex players, coachs, GM, journalist, etc. Slappin’ pancakes and discussion around scheme, strategy, and dissection of plays is a trend I hope continues! But PLEASE, can we please please move on from Aaron Rogers and the Cowboys?! Discussing, with what seems to be daily frequency, “The Big D”, soundbites of Jerry Jones yammering, Dak’s new contract, or what peyote retreat A-Rod just got back from is getting infinitely tired… Many folks live and root for teams outside of TX and NY, and it would be neat to hear more about the smaller market teams that get no love. Many thanks to the team over there working hard ever day to bring us “The good news” :)

I used to love this show, and still enjoy Ryan, K-Mart, Dan and others. But during football season they spend more than half the show talking about Big D. This weekend there were five playoff games. They briefly mentioned the Steelers/Chiefs game, but none of the others. No basketball, hockey, or Australian Open. And quite frankly, Greeny is getting tiring. Let Jalen or Ryan host - they’re much less hyperbolic and far more knowledgeable.

This has really struck a cord. I am a lifelong ESPN fan and Greeny is one of my very favorites. This is hugely disappointing. I thought Greeny was one of the good guys.

I can’t believe that ESPN and even more shocking, that Greeny who I’ve adored from day one, would begin to think that this show revolving around bettors and gambling was a good idea!! I have always loved Greeny. WHY is it a good idea to PROMOTE gambling and betting?? Our society is in the worst place it’s ever been in. People that gamble don’t care if they are working, contributing to society, about their families, their kids, their elderly parents, if they are hungry or living in their cars. Why is it ok to make gambling look attractive, enticing or a good idea??

What is the “fun” going to be discussed on this show? 99% of people who gamble can NOT afford it and don’t care. I can’t imagine that even if you were in the 1% that if you lost money, you’d feel good about it. Think about how many times gamblers say what they lost. They ONLY tell you when they win.

I just hope that neither of Greeny’s beautiful kids, his family or friends ever develop a gambling addiction. I feel like he is out of touch with reality to think that anyway you package this concept, it’s terrible. This is totally bumming me out.
