Customer Reviews
Visual medium is much appreciated
Love the pod and, like many others, I found it a few years ago bc of Chad’s appearances on Cowherd. I am not in a legal betting state + am smart enough to know I’m not smart enough to bet and win all the time (pharmacy school debt doesn’t help either). Even so, I still listen every episode because of trio’s fantastic personalities. Most importantly, I really appreciate that the full episodes are on YouTube with accompanying video. I work in chemotherapy IV room in a hospital and there’s a “no personal belongings/technology” law in the chemo hoods for obvious reasons. Luckily, there are computers in the room and I’m able to access the shows through YouTube which really helps me to push through long shifts. YouTube may not be the primary money-maker behind the show, but it’s a lifesaver for those of us that use it. (I also miss the “What are the odds?” segment that led a few shows for a while)
Chad Millman is awesome
Unfortunately, he’s the only one.
The Favorites is my Favorite
I drive a truck around the Des Moines, IA area so have plenty of time to listen to podcasts. Yours is definitely one of my favorites! The content is great, you don’t try to do too much in an episode, absolutely love the subtle humor, and I learn about betting. I’m a low rent recreational bettor wanting to get better and move up to mid-town, lol.
Thanks for your insight and picks, enjoy all the Action Network podcasts! Yep, I have the app too and follow you both.
Keep up the great work!
