WashedUp Walkons vs @gamedayron01

[swagsurfer02]

So I was getting ready to drive into work this morning. I was looking at podcasts and I saw the Walkons had a new one, I will listen if I’m interested in who the guest is. One released August 13th, didn’t have a guest but was titled Big Ten Realignment.

I find the realignment stuff interesting so I clicked it. Within probably the first 10-15 minutes they started talking about how someone on a message board made a thread trashing them. Turns out it was @gamedayron01 also, they said one of the best reply’s was someone who asked how a long snapper 5 years removed from the program is in the OP’s head so deep 😂

I’m glad I got some people to listen to them. They can send me a check.

Washed Up Walkons is nearly unlistenable and basically has been from day one. Occasionally okay to have on in the background when they have a former Hawkeye guest from before their time in the program. Good for those guys for doing a thing, but there are a trillion more interesting podcasts out there. I really don't understand the appeal of sports podcasts. Sports radio is some of the lowest common denominator shit that's cheap to put on the air and very inoffensive and disposable as far as advertisers are concerned. Also you only listen for as long as you're in your vehicle. Also sports radio tends to hire talented broadcasters who have ideas for being entertaining on a slow sports news day. Just awful as a long form podcast.

If you want an unscripted podcast, why not pick one of billions put out by professional entertainers.

It is amazing how little they actually know about college football and what the current landscape looks like.
Maybe they should listen to some podcasts so they know what the heck they are talking about.

I haven’t listened to them in a long time but we used to put them on while driving to the games. Sometimes had interesting views from the people who would know…

This last episode just entered the Top 5 for their Most Listened. They are welcome.

 

[Fan In Black]

in early episodes they would do impressions of KF and it was really funny. I haven't listened in a while.

 

[swagsurfer02]

I listened to the rest of it on my way home just now because they said Kevin Ward was going to join and talk about realignment. @gamedayron01 they called you “Top shelf Ron”

Apparently he’s claiming he never played church league softball.

Awesome😂

I just single handedly boosted their listenership.

Just a product of my greatness. Not fault.

This site is getting more traffic because of me.

Wrong.
Good inside info of the program.

They haven’t been near the program in 5 years idiot. They have no inside info anymore.

Really?
Coaches
Routines
Old game stories
Etc
Compare that to what you add…

If someone did a YouTube fan clips channel of WuW where they clip all the "best of" stuff, I'd probably throw that stuff into the rotation. And I'll still listen to game previews this year (the previews are the main episodes of theirs I really like apart from the interviews of older players) to avoid being productive on Fridays. But they have so much other time to fill the rest of the year and beyond Hawkeye football they're just regular dudes with a sense of humor that is very much second rate compared to the rest of the podcastverse. No end in sight to unscripted comedy from professional funny people and also there are so many free scripted podcasts which delve into anything and everything you'd want to hear about. SomeoneI trust has to recommend an off-season WuW clip for me to try. Part of it also for me is I'm just barely older than these guys so their non-football perspectives are just not what I'm in the market for.

They have some but often have no clue what’s going on in college football.

Picking betting lines is more important to them than the actual games.

Betting opposite od drake would make bank.

I hope I’m on a shirt. It would sell like hotcakes.

I listen and enjoy their stuff for what it is. The interview podcasts are usually pretty good. I really enjoyed the interview with Mark Weisman last week about what he’s doing with the Cubs plus some old Hawkeye stuff (or you can listen to my podcast interview with Mark from last November - CubsPS+).

I totally get why they’re not everyone’s cup of tea.

Its a friendship podcast.

The intern is the only one sticking on point and making relevant discussion
