This is my favorite 49ers podcast. It feels pretty balanced and Kyle is very funny while Chris has some info kinda. The ads have gotten even more out of control (5-7 mins to start the podcast and then another 3-6 mins mid podcast. Have also added a third break with another 3-6 mins. Idk how long you need to tell me you Iove lamb chops or prize picks), but I appreciate the analysis and humor

*reading from note Kyle wrote while staring at me intently* This is my favorite podcast ever. There are not any guys I would ever want to listen to more then them. If I ever got married they would be my best men and be required to do their show from it as our entertainment. That’s how good they are! My life has truly blossomed because of them and this show. God Bless America!
