Locked On Suns - Daily Podcast On The Phoenix Suns

This show at times has become difficult to listen to and just like the Suns hard to follow. I think it’s mostly due to bad chemistry, just like then Suns. Brendon, I’m sure didn’t want to have Ben on the show with him and it shows. He’s condensending, he talks over Ben and acts as he’s the expert, and Ben is some idiot fan boy. Ben is definitely is hyperbolic at times but sometimes that type of host can make things fun. I think if Brendon just played along sometimes and didn’t belittle him as much it would work. Just not sure Brendon is capable of that type of relationship. Probably not going to end well, just like the Suns.

Even after brutal losses in the awful 24-25 season Brendon could give you something worth listening to. Now we’ve got a host on an insufferable 30 minute doom spiral after game 4 of a retooling season. And the “analysis” is just bringing up everything that went wrong and saying it “can’t happen”. No thought has been given to whether this is something anyone would enjoy listening to.

Even if the Suns were pounding OKC out of the Western Conference these guys would NOT be having a good time together. Just trying to get the news from good sources but it comes at the cost of sitting through the absolutely grating interactions between Brendon and Ben, yikes!

The last 12 minutes of the last episode were unlistenable. Ben does a terrible job of explaining what his position is. Whenever Brenden pushes him to clarify, Ben reacts poorly. This has been going on for several episodes and I feel like the chemistry is just not there. Ben needs to stop with over the top takes, he needs to spend more time explaining and clarifying his takes, and he needs to show his co host more respect. I love having the daily content but it’s almost not even worth it to hear Ben’s outrageous word vomit.
