Love love love

The only podcast I listen to 100% content. Started fantasy hockey 3 years ago and knew about 10 nhl players. I now know every relevant player and am constantly complimented about how good my adds are (but in reality, just doing what these guys say to do)! Love you guys. Thanks for everything you do.

Great content!!

Really enjoy all the shows. Very informative with actionable advice.

Excellent work. Podcaster talking speed!

First, let’s address the giant elephant in the room. I don’t believe any of the other five star reviews have mentioned this, but if they have, and I missed it, then I apologize but I just want to say that I love both hosts U2 work very well together and it’s very organic. I just have one request. Will the host that speaks 100 mph slow down just a little bit. I do acknowledge the fact that podcasts do have a slow down function like to be quite frank, and my 6+ years I’m listening to podcasts on this app I’ve never had the need to do so, but it’s up to articulate everything you are saying when you don’t stop to catch your breath. Just slow down PLEASE. Asked of the podcast itself again I’ll reiterate, fantastic job it’s informative. It helps me shape all my fantasy teams for the better and I appreciate the content. Thank you.
