Love the show - it’s not too NY for me!

Two things: please book some baseball guests before football begins and Jimmy said that there were ten things he hates but only mentioned three (fireworks, raisins, people). What are the other seven?

Come for Sports. Stay for Traina’s Thoughts.

This podcast is my go to on Thursday mornings. Listening to Jimmy and Sal (who I wasn’t a fan of at first) reminds me of listening to Mike and the Dog during my formative years of sports fandom. Wish this podcast was 2x-3x a week!
