The interviews were great. A much needed fun entertaining sports program! Looking forward to the next ones. So many great insights and inspiring moments. Each episode is wonderful!

  • SFAppleUser
    1 Star name… 10 Star listen
    These guys are so much fun to listen to! As a sports fan I love that they ask different questions than the beat writers. Always learn something new about their guests! They definitely do their research and their guests are always impressed with the questions and seem to enjoy the time. I also really like hearing from different people. I don’t need another Lebron interview. I want to hear from Joey Chestnut, Austin Ekeler and Ricky Williams. Mugsy Bogues and Tom Glavine. Incredible mix. Time well spent listening to these guys!
  • domrubino

It is one of the most diverse subject matter podcasts I’ve ever listened to.Honestly even if you are not a sports fanatic the stories of the careers and the personal life details of the guests are absolutely interesting. That even goes for the two awesome hosts DK and Rip.These guys know what they’re doing and they nail it every podcast!

    So good...
    The guest list that these fellas has put together in the short amount of time they’ve been around is outstanding. I have no idea how they do it but it’s always very entertaining. You would think they’ve been around for years with the guest they’ve managed to bring on.

  • Len Prime
    A different sort of sports podcast...
    Rip and company are fun, knowledgeable and engaging. And some of the old-timers they get for interviews on their show are great! You’d be pleasantly surprised by something Jim McMahon might say when it’s not ESPN or Sports Illustrated. Good stuff.
  • Steveyoung2814
    Knowledgeable regular guys who’re actually entertaining
    Great range of guests. Lots of fun, informative and light sports talk with actual funny guys. These guys know each other, but never allow their jokes to be inside. You feel like one of their group when listening. Keep it up!
