What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love the podcast, it’s sports related but not too sports heavy with facts and stats. Love the dynamic between everyone on the pod and the banter is great. I listen to every episode and get to feel like I’m hanging out with Hester and Flynn, and the gang.

Cobis911 · Jan 2026

Been listening for over 5 years and rarely miss a day. Best show out there. Full stop. You do need to slightly turn the sound up though. I have to just about max the volume when listening to the recording in my truck. And then the commercials are at least 50% louder so they break my ears when they come on. But that’s my only suggestion. Keep everything else the same cause I love this show and couldn’t live without it. Geaux Tigers

MistaBroski · Apr 2024

AU fan here but still enjoy yalls show. Nice to hear opinions/insights that actually know what they’re talking abt. Also really really respect how they call it like they see it and don’t tell fans what they want to hear. Keep up the good work guys it’s a daily listen of mine.

MA Cty Tiger · Sep 2023

As a NYer who lives and dies by LSU football & would be in trenches without hesitation for Jake, Flynn, T-Bob (fallen soldier) and Alondra (ball knower) OTB keeps me up to date while still providing entertainment, great music (shoutout Alondra) as well as fun segments & incredible interviews…couldn’t live without y’all & appreciate yas more than ya know! #CTEOTB #GeauxTigahs #OTBTrenchesGang 🐅💪🏼🙌🏼⚜️🗽
