I love this show so much and have since its inception. TK and Wilbon feel like old friends and I can’t wait to hear their takes when significant events happen is sports. My one complaint is of their regular guests. Jeff Saturday and Booger McFarland are sadly not worthy of being regulars on the show. Neither are insightful or entertaining. Both give ordinary/unintetesting takes in folksy tones. When it comes time for “five good minutes” with them I fast forward through. Would rather have more mail time, what’s the word or all those old goofy segments they used to do like role play, good cop/bad cop than hear these two guests.
Love Tony and Mike and their witty takes on all things sports, started listening 30 yrs ago. However recently the ads are SOOO much louder than the broadcast, I can’t listen to them at my favorite time, before bed—It’s like an alarm goes off every 7 minutes! This only happened recently—please go back!
Four stars because whoever is responsible for uploading this podcast is often asleep at the wheel. Sometimes episodes just cut off in the middle, while others are posted with totally wrong dates. The upload dated 1/9/24 was an older episode from mid-January 2023. Inexcusable carelessness. I struggle to think of any other podcasts that suffers from so many basic technical issues. Ruins the experience despite the amazing regular hosts.
This show and my life work in sync. Everyday on my way home, I religiously listen to Tony and Wilbon such that when I don’t, I feel empty inside. Sure, nothing is perfect, like the occasional distracting yelling or entire segments devoted to golf, but this podcast is one of the only constants in my busy, chaotic life. Thanks to you knuckleheads for providing history that predates me, good information, and some fun to go along with it.
I’ve been watching and, subsequently, listening to these two for 19 years now. For a very long time, they were maybe not always insightful on certain topics, but they were at least sharp enough to be able to understand things, even when they disagreed with them. But recently, they have gotten very, very stuck in their attitudes, and unwilling to admit that they can be wrong. They have become a pair of brick walls. For instance, as I type this, they just published an episode where they begin by covering the impending release of Russell Wilson from the Broncos. Wilbon, needing to get his digs in against the “analytics people”(who don’t make acquisition decisions, which you would think a guy covering sports since the 1970s would understand by now, but we can’t let that get in the way of a narrative!), starts mocking the “analytics” that told the Broncos to trade for him, before then… telling us Wilson actually “didn’t play badly” and blaming his performance on the rest of the team. Which… if that’s true, then the “analytics” boogeyman he hates so much did a decent job, right? He even advocates for Wilson getting another starting job! And this is fresh off the intro to the show, so it’s not like he’s had time to have his attention waver. He just leans on his ignorant narratives and says the same pointless nonsense every day(well, every day that he shows up, which is like 2/3 days?). I could get a list of the show topics 20 minutes before it was recorded, and by the time he starts to talk, I could tell you exactly what he’s going to say the entire show, minus his occasional anecdotes from 30+ year old encounters with coaches and executives, which he just uses as a vehicle to complain more about young players in every sport, as usual. Kornheiser at least occasionally seems like he’s trying, but winds up looking lost more often than not if you watch the video feed or pay attention to his pauses. It’s sad to see them aging like this.
The mix has the show volume low and the ad volume level super high - like damaging your ears high. Use the mixer to adjust the volume levels even, especially the ad at the end of the podcast after the show ends. It is deafening.
