Show was great when it started. Now he copies Cowherd right down to mocking voices of his opposing viewpoints. Definitely is not afraid to jump on soapbox. Every interview with a quality guest is followed by 2 minutes of him bragging about his interview prep.

The Shaq interview a couple weeks ago has completely gone to his head

That's a great theory but he has the prime spot and thus Will do well regardless. Dude loves to pump his numbers but I promise if the morning show was there they would be killing it.

Matt's consistent guests are awful.

I almost had to pull over on the shoulder from laughing last week when he wasted his over-rehearsed intro to the Shaq interview. Shaq wasn't able to hear it, and you could tell it really bruised his ego.

Love Matt, and Theriot. The Riot Radio Hour needs to become the daily Riot Radio Show with Matt & Ryan instead of AFR. Those two guys together are radio magic. Theriot always has me rolling!!!! Y'all saying they're terrible can KICK ROCKS!!!

OH, and Carley's having a tough time getting started, but she's gonna be OK (not Chesty good, though). Plus she's hot, so she gets a bigger learning curve anyway.

Matt is probably the best sports radio personality in a market our size in the entire country. Travel a little and listen to their sports talk, most of it outside of the big markets is brutal.

Yep he tries to copy the national shows and it just doesn't work. At least not for me. He just offers very little meaningful insight on anything. Repeats what everyone else has already said. Just be original and authentic. He's neither.


I travel through the Gulf Coast a lot and I can tell you that Moscona is as good or better than local sports radio shows in Houston, Jackson, MS, Birmingham, or Tuscaloosa. I like his show better than ESPN's and Fox's Sports national arse clowns Mike & Mike, Danny Kanell, or Cowherd...but to each their own...

His over annunciation of every word make me want to punch a baby. His inaccurate opinions make me no respect him for what he is supposed to be. I haven't tuned in for a while now but when I have a thirst for sports talk during that time, he usually ruins it within 5 minutes. Back when it was him and the Innes kid who was much worse, Moscona actually wasn't too bad. But as soon as he started for ESPN radio he changed his voice and cadence of speech which annoys the shite out of me. He isn't a bad guy and in real life I could probably get along with him. But I can't stand to listen to his show anymore.

Totally agree.

I do think he talks over people too often, and even though he and Theriot have some moments, it's annoying how they just bro out the whole time. I generally agree with Matt on most of his points, think he gets quality guests. I don't get the Cowherd similarities, Cowherd is on his way to being Skip Bayless, I don't think Matt says much to just incite an audience.

I travel in the same city in the morning and hear a show that's exponentially better than Matt.

And I agree with most on Carley. Hey voice isn't for radio but Damn she is hot.

THIS!

I'm a business traveler and the sports radio is so bad I have to steam. Matt is good enough to be a national host. You have have no idea how good with have it with him.

When he's prepared and doing his prepared remarks, he's amazing. When he tries to ablib and joke, he's average. Never is he as bad as a standard show in America.

Seriously, you guys have no idea.

Comes off as a fake and a prick. Worst host in the lineup. Wish there was something else on for the afternoon drive

I generally enjoy the topics on the show and the guests but he seems to be trying a little too hard recently with his exaggerated enthusiasm. He is a straight up arse to most callers who aren't part of his cast of regulars.

Someone needs to tell him to stop talking like Jim Rome. Otherwise, his show isn't that bad. The BR guy that I don't care for at all is Jimmy Ott.

Carley is awful on that show. all she does whole time is get in fight with huddle app users. Matt is just a condescending douche but I do like his show and think he isn't bad at all.

He's a good guy but his show needs an overhaul. Same with Cullotta and the Prince.

I'll never understand why Moscona has to bring on Mike D every week even when it's not football season. That segment is brutal during the season so we don't need it in the offseason. Same with C&P and Corey Webster. He's a terrible interview already and brings absolutely NO insight. So why keep bringing him back?

I wish they'd switch out their weekly guests as it pertains to the season we are in. It'd keep it more fresh I think.

Matt needs to chill with the arrogance though.

On thing he does that is just flat out screaming "I'm bored" is when he tweets something about a topic one night and then when he brings up the topic the next day, he reads the tweet word for word like he just came up with it on the spot. I don't know why that bothers me.
