  • Occasionally, a good listen

    Listening to Sly reference only reference BYU as “team down south” is really cringey for radio.

    Go Utes!

  • JJ and Alex is terrible

    This new show is so boring. I cannot listen to it. I loved Unrivaled and Alex and Scott’s banter. Please bring back Scott Mitchell.
