What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Consistently great pod with good info and awesome banter. I love when they mix in pop cultures quotes with their fantasy advice. Brilliant show that stays relevant all year round.

Kbraidz · Aug 2026

They have great in depth fantasy talk, but it’s also a lot of banter. It’s almost like I’m listening to my own friends talk about fantasy football and just f-around. Great show.

Jacob t h · Jul 2026

Big fan, mostly due to my bf’s obsession with sports and being nudged into his fantasy football league. These guys have great chemistry, and make me feel like I’m listening to my own friends. Funny banter (football and non football related), informative insights and not taking themselves too seriously. 5 stars!

lindsvo · Feb 2025

This is the first review I’ve went out of my way to write. This show is great in terms of entertainment, the hosts are funny. Other fantasy podcast just churn out content and it’s hard to stay engaged through every episode that comes out. I look forward to every episode of this podcast, sometimes it gets off the rails but that’s what I love. They also think differently from other fantasy podcasts so it’s nice to have that comparison when most other shows are the same takes just coming out of different hosts mouths. Make the assumption for yourself. Enjoy.

J-money1127 · Jan 2025

You’ve got the camaraderie and charisma between the three of you figured out. Hilarious show. Then you took an AI sponsorship on and ruined all the vibes. Just absolutely destroys the pod. Jarring and out of place, and worst of all, completely unnecessary. Would be 5 stars without AI of any kind. Lazy content.

Connor Damewood · Aug 2026

I liked these guys for the heated rants they do once in awhile but there are other shows that do a better job with data analysis. The final straw was when they had a political candidate’s spouse on to “talk ball”. Clearly was a stunt one way or another and you think people would learn of this with example after example of pairing politics with sports that this is not what people want. Put your time and money elsewhere.
