Never really understood why someone won’t listen to a Hawkeye or other college sports player that didn’t go to Iowa State. If he’s entertaining and not taking stupid shots at ISU, I’ll listen each week. Same with Jon Miller. I always thought he was entertaining outside of his jabs at ISU and he basically said he’s not playing that role anymore. But maybe that’s just me.
I think it’s more that JorBo is/was such a douche. I don’t, for example, go out of my way to avoid Steve Carfino. But I wouldn’t pee on JorBo if he was on fire. It’s possible to be a hok and not a douche. JorBo didn’t achieve that. Also, nothing wrong with it. It’s part of the fandom of sports.

You really believe that he was playing a role?

I liked Heather and Sean's first show a lot more than I thought I would, and I like the 5-0 segment, though I can certainly understand where some find it repetitive.

I wonder if 5-0 (DSM Police) maybe pay for that spot as sponsorship as he's the face of the PD (so a public relations deal)

Because if not, wouldn't it be kind of weird for the spouse of a host having a recurring segment?

Travis asking the young producer if he's a boob or butt guy is cringe.

I decided to listen to the new show on my drive in and this is what I got from Travis who has some Iowa Hawkeyes podcast guy on:

"The offensive line isn't sexy. Fans don't care about the offensive line, they only care about QB, RB, WRs." And then proceeds to ask about Iowa's new center. 1) Are you that out of touch that you don't know that fans really care about line play and aren't that stupid, 2) if you really think that fans don't care, why are you asking about the new center?

At least he was talking about sports for once. I'm sure he's a nice guy but I'm not sure why KXNO cannot get someone local to talk about local sports...

It's really weird either way. I could understand it if he's got some connection to sports, but there's literally no connection and it comes off as, we've got nothing to talk about for the next x minutes, so we're bringing in Heather's husband...who also has nothing new to talk about. The whole former morning crew has a very big vanity issue and LOOOOVES talking about themselves.

The Bruno segments are all sponsored, which is why they exist.
I'm not sure about the 5-0 one.

travis is trying to be todd n tyler.... but not funny. dude was the straight man on their show for years. catholic weirdo but i guess that gets boring
I tried listening this morning and it sounded like he was doing his whole "be mean to the producer" bit to Caleb. The kid's still in college and absolutely loves what he does but Travis still has to try to **** on him every chance he got.

Caleb is the afternoon producer. Justin is the producer in the mornings.

Justin did the Saturday morning show with Sean.

Seneca as the first guest on ‘The Drive’ is a solid start for Sean and Heather replacing The Fanatics.
They had him on all last football season too, Travis just retained him as a guest. Not gonna lie though Seneca isn't a great listen IMO.
