What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been listening to Russillo since the SVP days. I love the pod, the thoughtfulness he puts into his takes are above and beyond all these other shows. I’ll listen to him as long as he has a show. Keep up the great work fellas!!!

$BMoneyNorCal$ · Apr 2026

Ryen Russillo is one of the best in the business. His mix of sports knowledge, sharp insight, and humor makes every episode worth listening to. He’s got that rare ability to be both analytical and entertaining — breaking down games, players, and storylines with the depth of a true insider while still keeping things fun and relatable. The interviews are always top-notch, and his solo segments might be even better — you can tell he actually does the homework. Whether it’s his “Life Advice” segment or deep dives into NBA or NFL topics, Russillo keeps it real and doesn’t just follow the hot takes.

Nickd123434 · Oct 2025

In-depth content on NBA for Ball-Knowers. High level content on the rest. Dry humor; casual intellectual content- not stuffy stiff hyperbole… been making work-shifts in lively kitchen easier to move through since SVP days.

chefcbnc · Oct 2025

Excellent monologue on the need for the NBA draft. These are the type of segments that set him apart from many others in sports media

Viral1035 · Feb 2026

I never thought the day would come where I preferred BS over Russillo, but something’s not the same since the split with him. It just doesn’t feel like authentic Ryen anymore, feels more like typical media talk. Whereas BS somehow is starting to feel just the opposite. I don’t get it, and maybe others will agree. But I had to unsubscribe; dude just doesn’t feel authentic anymore, and I never thought that would happen.
