Damien woody offers nothing. just what's been already said 100 times already. over paid as fuck
wrong podcast
Great show. Ritchie ia a gas. You guys are a hoot together. Also loved the Icelandic odyssey. Be well.
Draft episode?
wow well done!
Tremendously enjoyable listen. 74 and listen a lot. Enjoy your MV roots. Did T's hor Janet T The Ritz, The WhRf. John Gazenega and my 2 faves "Buster & Bteaker" (ball) Giordano. I'd walk in and shout "you got the cans open yet.?" Tbis was a heat 1st effort. Thanks. Fred Rice
Awesome episode Ryen! Longtime listener, huge fan since the NBA Tonight days! Appreciate your versatility and perspective 🙏!
What on earth was Van Latham talking about?! The G-Easy/CFB analogy was one of the most contrived, incomprehensible loads of bs I have ever heard. He just came off like a salty LSU fan that was upset that other schools were beating them out in recruiting.
Typical race baiting from Foxworth. Can't just use individual discernment, everything has to be about race...lazy logic.
Russilo's sale pitch for watching soccer..."you can do other stuff while the game is on". Sweet
The soccer solution is to waive the offsides rule. You might actually get action and scoring for a change.
Shocker that an Obama/Holder crony would resort to those tactics
Kyrie is protesting that the Earth is an obsolete spheroid
Great feature, loved the comparison between Jaylen and Ben Simmons. Very interesting
lol this dudes boss literally always brings up politics and says he can't stand ppl like this
Man I thought the days of Ryen blowing Brady ended when Brady left the Pats, but NOPE. Yes he is one of the greatest to ever do it, but TODAY is a fringe top 7 QB. Brady can’t ever do wrong. It’s always someone else’s fault. So Mike Evans messed up on a hot route because Brady has 6 rings?
I know nothing matters anymore but I’m unsubscribing because of Michael Vick’s repeatedly featuring. He never apologized for torturing dogs. Peace.
tony bennett
I really enjoy the podcast. I have to skip the Mike Vick episode. I have no interest in anything he has to say. Hurts to see his name and the unimaginable pain he caused to numerous animals. Heartless.
Kilborn is always great. Late Late Show top shelf. Must listen.
