CGK in PDX

The Seat Geek read might as well be the exact copy of GameTime. John tries to come off as authentic -just selling out to whatever sponsor Colin can hire for him. Still just a washed up has been - now podcasting it’s what most do when they get fired from their real job(s) And really we don’t need parenting updates from you. 5 minutes WTF⁉️ Many of us/most of us have kids or have raised them. I don’t need you to share it. It’s not entertaining. Stick to football. Oh wait you sometimes think you know something about golf. Still poor product. Only listened because shoved down my throat on Colin’s feed and did have an interest in the York story. Tried to make it to the end and then F’n Dad Diaries. Abort.
Great podcast

Authentic and unapologetic style

I’ve been listening to John for over eight years, going back to when he was in California around the Marin County area. What I enjoy most about his show is the style, it feels like things you’d hear sitting around with buddies, going back and forth and talking through real topics without pretense. John does a great job weaving in insights and anecdotes from his past experiences to where he is today. I appreciate that he doesn’t sugarcoat his views. The world we live in is cutthroat, and he leans into that reality instead of dancing around it. Above all, his grit and grind haven’t changed. The same drive and edge that hooked me years ago are still there today. Overall, it’s a great show if you’re looking for honest, direct, and colorful takes. Keep it going Middlekauff!
