Come on Now
Hey Wilbon - let’s see how many times you can say “come on now” on every show. Maybe your little entitled brat son can teach you a new saying so you can sound like a 13 year old AAU thug. Everyone knows your kid doesn’t belong on a traveling team - keep him in your gated community filled with folks who don’t look like you - you jerk.

My favorite show
This is my favorite show of all-time. Love the chemistry between you two. What can I say, something's are meant to be perfect and that's you two. Keep it up please. BUT TURN UP THE SOUND!!!!!!

Finally Well and Truly Off Their Rockers
I’ve been watching and, subsequently, listening to these two for 19 years now. For a very long time, they were maybe not always insightful on certain topics, but they were at least sharp enough to be able to understand things, even when they disagreed with them. But recently, they have gotten very, very stuck in their attitudes, and unwilling to admit that they can be wrong. They have become a pair of brick walls. For instance, as I type this, they just published an episode where they begin by covering the impending release of Russell Wilson from the Broncos. Wilbon, needing to get his digs in against the “analytics people”(who don’t make acquisition decisions, which you would think a guy covering sports since the 1970s would understand by now, but we can’t let that get in the way of a narrative!), starts mocking the “analytics” that told the Broncos to trade for him, before then… telling us Wilson actually “didn’t play badly” and blaming his performance on the rest of the team. Which… if that’s true, then the “analytics” boogeyman he hates so much did a decent job, right? He even advocates for Wilson getting another starting job! And this is fresh off the intro to the show, so it’s not like he’s had time to have his attention waver. He just leans on his ignorant narratives and says the same pointless nonsense every day(well, every day that he shows up, which is like 2/3 days?). I could get a list of the show topics 20 minutes before it was recorded, and by the time he starts to talk, I could tell you exactly what he’s going to say the entire show, minus his occasional anecdotes from 30+ year old encounters with coaches and executives, which he just uses as a vehicle to complain more about young players in every sport, as usual. Kornheiser at least occasionally seems like he’s trying, but winds up looking lost more often than not if you watch the video feed or pay attention to his pauses. It’s sad to see them aging like this.

Horrendous podcast
This podcast has degraded to the point of no return. The hosts are terrible and the content is horrible. These guys are out of touch and are too old to keep up with today’s sports stuff. They should go babysit their grandkids instead of wasting others’ time. There’s is no integrity and honesty with these guys and they continue to sugarcoat things. Stay clear of this podcast and look for something honest and reliable.

I have listened for years. Corporate bought. Do we really believe they watch women’s sports. Yeah right. Deep down, they are old school.

Getting Better
The guys continue to be the excellent grumpy old men we’ve come to know and love, and the sound mix from show to the commercials has improved a lot! Now if we can just get them to stop running that AT&T 5G helmet ad we’ll really be in business. Honestly it’s been running on this show for so long it makes me cringe at the mere mention of AT&T now.

College hoops
Someone please tell Wilbon to stop yelling about men’s b-ball and “one and done.” This shows he has not been paying attention for several years. Look at the rosters. Look at how NIL is keeping almost everyone around longer and longer—some high profile one and dones, but very small numbers.

GOATS
Been on forever That doesn’t happen if these guys are bums and the show isn’t any good. Quick, concise, entertaining… Enough said!! Thank you gentlemen for decades of entertainment and news!

Who produces this podcast?? They’re awful.
Four stars because whoever is responsible for uploading this podcast is often asleep at the wheel. Sometimes episodes just cut off in the middle, while others are posted with totally wrong dates. The upload dated 1/9/24 was an older episode from mid-January 2023. Inexcusable carelessness. I struggle to think of any other podcasts that suffers from so many basic technical issues. Ruins the experience despite the amazing regular hosts.

Horrible ads
Love the show, going to lose my mind if I have to hear about whatever the Gallaudet Bisons are. Incredibly annoying stupid commercial on wayyyyyyyy too much.
Creativenicknameone
LOUD ads
WILL THEY FIND A HOME, SPONSORED BY GEICO! Blows out my ears at the end of every podcast unless I can fast-forward in time. I really don’t need to hear about the futuristic AT&T helmet every single day for two minutes, either. That’s another instant skip.

I heart AT&T
OMG STOP WITH THE HELMET AD!!!! I hate AT&T now!!

Will Mike and Tony pay for my hearing aids ?!!!
The ads are blowing my ear drums. I love this podcast but I’m deleting it for a month to see if they fix it. They are seriously 10 levels louder than thé regular podcast. It seems to only be thé Geico ads. They are causing hearing damage.
song stinks
Stop playing ads at 2x the volume!!!
Love the pod but the BLASTING of the ads is enough for me to stop subscribing. Why does anyone think that helps the show or the advertiser? It only sours the listener on both.

SPEND SOME CASH ON SOUND AUDIO MY EARS HURT
I love Tony and Mike but spend some cash on sound equipment because everything is loud and that Geico commercial is the worst but otherwise it’s good

Eardrum splitting
I love Tony and Mike, but I will unsubscribe if you don’t get rid of the speaker-blowing, eardrum-splitting Geico commercial. Either that or I will sue for damages. You are literally affecting my health. TURN THE VOLUME DOWN ON THE COMMERCIALS!

ADJUST THE AD VOLUME DOWN
The mix has the show volume low and the ad volume level super high - like damaging your ears high. Use the mixer to adjust the volume levels even, especially the ad at the end of the podcast after the show ends. It is deafening.

Please Turn down the volume of commercials
Love PTI, but to whom it may concern… Please, please, please turn down the volume of the commercials. It is significantly louder then the show and it is awfully starting and hurt my ears when the commercials come on. Please just make it the same volume.
MSNoble5
Keep advertisement sound same as show
Please keep the advertisement sound level the same as the show. It is absolutely annoying, and makes me skip the ads even faster because the loud sound is so jarring. Love the show- and have been watching since it started. Please change the ad volume.

Every Day
This show and my life work in sync. Everyday on my way home, I religiously listen to Tony and Wilbon such that when I don’t, I feel empty inside. Sure, nothing is perfect, like the occasional distracting yelling or entire segments devoted to golf, but this podcast is one of the only constants in my busy, chaotic life. Thanks to you knuckleheads for providing history that predates me, good information, and some fun to go along with it.

Too much hypocrisy
Used to love this show and would catch every episode on TV. Lately it seems like every headline is biased and their takes are hypocritical based on who the subject is. Deion mentions culture isn’t important and Michael slurps that up… Booger mentions how important culture is to a team like the Lions and Michael is agreeing with him head over heels. I get having an opinion and having one differing than mine is refreshing and provides perspective… but don’t be so quick to flip flop when it comes to your stance on something just to stay in someone’s good graces.

Meh
I used to LOVE this show. Listened or watched everyday for years. This past year or two though I find Wilbon is becoming more and more insufferable. Every episode he just yells constantly, continuously calls people stupid, and is generally always under the assumption he’s 100% correct on every argument. He also allllllllllways introduces race. Like ALWAYS. It’s gotten really annoying. I’ve found myself listening less and now I really don’t listen at all.

Podcast format is an afterthought
Mike and Tony are great and deserve 5 stars but the production quality of this podcast is very inconsistent. Sometimes an entirely wrong show will be posted. Random days are delayed or missed. Ads are very loud. It’s clear the podcast format is very much an afterthought for this show.

Awesome Show
This is one of the best sports show out there. Look forward to it everyday. Tony and Wilson are a perfect match.

GREAT hosts, but poor back end support
LOVE Tony and Mike together. The technical part of this is the challenge. There sometimes two of the exact same segment uploaded, yesterday I downloaded PTI and got Around the Horn, sometimes the show is cut off before it actually ends, sometimes it actually starts a few seconds after they have started talking, and sometimes the sound equalizing is way off.

Great show
I love the show and always have, with Wilson’s wisdom and Tony’s humor it makes the perfect show if it weren’t for the sub-par choice of topics, the good topics are enjoyable but when they talk about someone’s birthday who stopped playing 20 years ago and barely made the hall of fame it gets a little annoying, but overall, it’s a great show

Detest Wilbon
He is an arrogant and despicable person. He’d be nothing without Tony and all the others who have carried him to the place he is today.

Not aging well
Two old men, yelling about how anything not old is bad.
mmmmmmmaaaaatttttttt
Love the show but enough with the NBA…
It’s the off-season. You don’t need to spend 1/3 of every show on dumb off-season topics. There are more relevant sporting events going on now…

Commercials 3x Louder than Podcast
Like Around the Horn as well, the commercials for this podcast are now 3x louder than the show. This is either poor mixing or their way of cramming commercials down your throat. No longer a good listening experience when you can’t reach your phone to turn down the volume, nor should we need to in the first place.

Great Insight

My all time favorite podcast…
Custom Critical
Fix the volume please!
Let me preface, I LOVE PTI! 5 stars! I’m simply leaving a 1 star review in hopes that the producers will notice. The volume on the podcast is VERY low. I have to crank it up to hear, then the ads scare me to death and I have to turn it back down. Simply raise the decibel level for the show to a normal range and I’ll change this to a 5 star because I listen every morning!

Ehh
I’ve been watching/listening to PTI since I was about 10 years old. I always enjoyed their perspective and experience. 20 years later, these guys are clearly out of touch, especially Tony. He frequently brags about going to bed at 6 PM and not even watching the sports he talks about, and it shows. Wilbon seems to repeat the same things over and over, and is stuck in his ways. These guys are legends in sports media, but they just aren’t hitting the mark like they used to. Pablo Torre and Frank Isola are a breath of fresh air. PS- now we are getting pro-Disney/ Bob Iger propaganda. Nobody wants to listen to that.

Black racist
Does Disney or ESPN realize that this black garbage FRAUD is a racist through and through while he calls NFL owners racist. This should not be tolerated. Fire this black racist now.
MarkHobart
You guys
are pretty smart and I appreciate that.

Please get it together
2-8-23 These god awful LZ Granderson podcast commercials where he interviews interior designers have got to go. Also the commercials where Ally Bank lectures us about female sports equality.

Frustration
Seems like the goal in each show is to bring up someone being selfish and not getting the Covid vaccine…it’s ridiculous.
