Agree. Heck, during the off season the CycloneFanatic message board discusses topics like peeing while sitting down.

During the different seasons it's interesting coming off of fresh wins or losses etc. but there's pretty much literally nothing big going on in the sports world and too many unknowns around basketball and football.
Chris is a Braves fan. Ross is a Yankees fan. They've both pretty much admitted they don't pay much attention beyond their teams. So ... baseball isn't a big discussion point.
I will say, Sean Roberts and his crew do a good job of talking about MLB, NBA, etc. on the Saturday Morning Pregame Show.
I wouldn't say Ken was loyal to him. He was put in a tough situation when KXNO shuffled the deck and he got stuck with Heather...
People also over estimate how many listeners are interested in MLB talk. College is king here in Iowa, even if it's meaningless summer conversations.
I'm saying more so as in Marty was a crook. Scamming people left and right and cozying up to awful human beings (Luebke). No way did Kenny not know the **** Marty was up to.
You don't want to listen to travis humble brag about his i-i-i-i-italy trips?
It is the slow part of the season. They do talk baseball and NBA, but little about NHL. In all honesty it is this time of year that I don't listen much. I tune in again when football season starts.
Yeah if I want MLB or NBA talk, I know I'm not gonna get the best content from a KXNO show. Just the truth of it, and these guys aren't pretending to be experts about things they are not. I actually enjoy how candid they are about their lack of knowledge. It makes them super relatable to their audience.
I too listen much more heavily during football season. It is fun to listen in the days immediately following a Cyclone win or loss, or a Hawkeye loss. Plus I think they have, or used to anyway, a weekly interview with John Walters during football season.
Pro sports don't move the needle in the DSM market...
The fawning over Johnston baseball recently seemed sophomoric.
They are contractors versus most other local shows being employees. They are paid based on ad revenue. SO I imagine they lean into how they make money.
I really enjoy the sports gambling talk. To each their own.
