Favorite podcast

The intro with chris and macon on the 9/8/23 podcast is sensational. The dynamic yall two have is by far and away my favorite aspect of the show. Wouldn’t mind more stories like those paintball wars back in high school! Also the ad men never misses

Little Bro right

My brother has been recommending Greenlight for so long. I really only paid attention to college football (Go Noles) but I am learning so much about football. Apparently I only knew the obvious actions, TD, Field Goal, neutral zone and off sides for example. You use terms I don’t understand but explain it clearly and in an enjoyable way. Example: I only recently learned there’s certain players the QB can’t throw to. Now I have a crush on Beau. Definitely driving my brother crazy with questions, as it should be. Thank you so much for the fun listens!

Ciao for now! ,

Ciao for now

Came here for Chiefs / Kelce bros and staying for the dustups. Bravo!
