“They just crack me up sometimes. I don’t agree with every take (for example, I’m a huge Cowboys fan), but I always look forward to listening. Andy’s BlackT impression is the best thing I’ve heard since CR’s Wayne Jenkins. I think they should do a special event charity podcast completely as those...”Read full review »

“Is there ANYTHING more RIDICULOUS than listening to Chris Ryan go on a HIP HOP rant? When C.R tries to show how down he is, and how deep his knowledge of RAP is….. OMG it’s beyond comical!!!
The WHITEST White Man in America teaching us all about 2024 Hip Hop is hilarious and BEYOND CRINGE!!!!”

“It’s interesting to find C.R. on the opposite side of a co-host slowly beating a slightly amusing impression into the ground. The sincerity of his laugh diminishes in response to Andy’s Cosmo much like Bill’s has with his Wayne Jenkins.”

“The mindless bro chatter is annoying. Nerds yukking it up in gym class while waiting to be picked last.
Get to the context of the show. They change to articulate and thoughtful after their chatter.
Producer note: keep small talk to minimum and get to it.”

“Been a fan since Grantland. Andy continues to be a tough hang, incredibly unfunny and full of random tangents….But CR is the goat and listening to best friends talk is cathartic. Also they're erudite and have taste. 5stars cause I’m loyal but Andy needs a rebrand lol”Read full review »

“been listening to these two since Grantland / HP days. have always enjoyed their banter and familiarity with each other. in 2022 they’re so jaded by the subjects they pretend to cover like they used to when the show was cooking that it’s become near unlistenable. they are broken as of 2024, upon...”Read full review »

“I only watch about half the shows they talk about but the beginning of the podcast is my favorite part. They’re both hilarious and clearly also really good friends. It’s delightful and always look forward to listening to a new episode. Just keep doing what you’re doing.”

“Enjoy the show for the most part very much. My one pushback is that when one of the two hosts starts a story or monologue the other one doesn’t HAVE to interrupt them to interject a witty(?) observation/call back every single time. They could just let the speaker finish his thought/story. Maybe?...”Read full review »

“Two pallid, decaying middle aged white men use tv as a vehicle to discuss their favorite topic: themselves. Additionally like all Ringer pods in the Spotify era pure industry lickspittles who’ve never come across an executive rear end they are unwilling to kiss. Soulless ghouls.”

“Greenwald would be bearable if he could simply invest his limited comic ambitions in a nice, inviting improv class in Pasadena—far apart from the audience at home. He is frantic flop-sweat personified and his bona fides as a mid music critic back in like 2002 don’t make his ironic detachment any...”Read full review »
