A classic revisioned

Love the show, and I’ve always loved Roth since his days hosting The Buckeye Fever. Want to like Matty and at times I do, but his cluelessness about movie classics is dumbfounding. Also him not being a true homer and having favorite squads that aren’t in Ohio doesn’t fit. His takes are also borderlined at times and make no sense. His knowledge is also lacking in a lot of areas and it shows often as he stumbles over himself.

Insightful + Fun

These two work great together. You wouldn’t be able to tell that Matt used to be a producer. He delivers his takes with confidence and energy. He also represents young people in a way that isn’t represented the same on other shows. Anthony doesn’t miss on a take either. His story-telling is great and I quite enjoy his movie references. Both guys are easy to like.

Best show on 97.1 hands down

I listen to the fan only by podcast and recently stopped listening to the children on at 3-6. I couldn’t take anymore of the high school level humor. Rothman is the most professional and entertaining host at the fan. I like Matt too but he really needs to stop eating almonds during breaks. When they come back, he’s constantly making gross sounds, choking, etc. Kind of unprofessional. Matt, listen to your mother please!
