So what you’re saying is the show finally has decent sports content and not the typical tbop put a carrot through my dikhole for fun tripe?

Fine by me. And saying Flynn adds nothing is laughable.

T-BoB is a buffoon, I like Flynn and Hester, I think they do a great job!

Man, if you’re bummed about T-Bob being gone, then I feel sorry for you for not having better taste in radio.

Not a regular viewer / listener but the few times I have, I thought Flynn was pretty good.

This is a moronic take. TBoob is a clown, plain and simple. A court jester; and imbecile. The “energy” he brings with his sci-fi and video game obsession is for the 12 year old listeners, not grown people who would like to hear more detailed sports intricacies. I like some humor and bits mixed in to the serious sports talk but Tboob is not that guy. I actually listen to Flynn and Hester and enjoy their more nuanced talk; it’s a good show and getting better. But yes I don’t care for the chick on the show who brings nothing. And Hunt is the best radio guy on 104.5 with Hanny right there.

Yup, the show is meh. They need to let peeps call into the show. That would break up the monotony

I agree.

The reason the show doesn’t work is that Flynn and Hester have the same laid back personality. T-Bob had a charisma and character where he’s the zany crazy guy with straight man of Hester so it works. Putting two Hesters on the same show doesn’t bring any of the energy. It’s dull and lifeless.

Other than when Flynn and Hester talk about their days at LSU and when they share behind the scenes stuff that the public doesn’t know, or Flynn breaking down QB tape, I don’t find much to be interested in. Agree they definitely talk too much to the producers. I do enjoy most of the throwback 90s music they play on the intros tho.

I’m assuming their ratings are down. TBob was a special talent but I’ve caught his stuff at Barstool and I don’t think it’s that good either. It’s not his fault tho. Portnoy always has to put a girl that has no business on any show on their panels for I guess eye candy? Ruins all their shows. When Kelly was fired they had Tbob in a one on one with Megan Makin Money…Portnoy needs to just cut all these women that ruin his sports shows loose.

Just the opposite for me.

But I guess some people like a sports show with a guy who talks about teenage boys putting gummy worms in their butts at camp and walking around a hotel room Winnie the Pooh style. To each his own.

I thought I'd hate it with the addition of Flynn. That said, it has found its groove and I like it. It is different than T-Bob, but that doesn't mean bad. Flynn and Hester work well together and Taylor and Alondra really complement them well. They really do. I'm okay with doting on the latter...they do a good job and its harmonious between all 4.

Exact opposite - it is a blessing to not hear the IQ drop every time T-Bob opened his mouth.

I'm the opposite and started listening once TBOB left. TBOB is not my cup of tea. Don't need all the yelling and off topic content that early in the morning.

I couldn’t disagree more. I could not stand listening to Tbob on any show at any time about anything.

I love the show now. T Bob was worth a laugh occasionally but Flynn cracks me up. Hester is great. Even Taylor and Alondra are entertaining. They make crappy Louisiana sports tolerable to talk about.

It must really be shitty because it was unlistenable before with T-Bob. Hester has the personality of a doorknob.
