Great pod
You guys are awesome. The classiest bunch in the business. You guys do all the work and more. Sometimes it feels very “stick to the book” when maybe we could losen up a little bit and could be good to talk off the cuff sometimes. BTW KC’s voice sounded immaculate when he was streaming from somewhere tropical.

Keep Goff Away
He tries way too hard to be cool. Dude needs to stay out “in the cut.”

Enjoyable pod. Keep Tony away.
The worst pods only downside is the IQ-absent opinions of Tony Gill. He has no substance in his uneducated opinions. Probably a good guy in his regular life. Who knows.
so much information

KC and Rob are awesome!
This pod is a must listen for Bulls fans. I read KC all the time when he was at the Tribune, and was excited when he joined NBC sports, knowing his coverage would expand. Not many know more about the Bulls than him. Rob is a up and comer and is a wealth of information with great data to back up his points. Obviously, the listen is easier when the Bulls are good and it’s exciting to see the new episodes drop each time to get insider information from two direct sources. Guest spots from Kendall and Will are awesome! Can’t wait for the playoff coverage!

Sounds like artificial speedup to 1.5
Not sure which guys it is but he is speed talking so fast that I need to keep checking my podcast app to make sure I have it on normal play speed. It’s just distracting and weird. Probably so he can say more.

Lauri talk podcast
Listen to this if you wanna hear guys wax poetic about a guy not even on the team anymore and about how they want him to succeed more than the bulls. Used to be a good pod host rambles too much not enough talk about the actual team.

Jason Goff talks too much
KC, Gill & Rob Schaffer have great insight. Jason seems like a nice guy but he isn’t a good host. He DRAGS out points and takes away from the other talkers kind of like a Molly Qerim Lite. I think there’s a lot of good content but it needs better balance.

Definitely not a clean podcast as advertised
A lot of cursing and venom on the pod.

Frustrating
Love the conversation and I’d give it 5 stars if the host would take his energy level down a notch. Makes it frustrating to listen to sometimes.

Laughable
This show took a complete nose dive when Will & Gill left....Goff is unlistenable laughs at his own “jokes” and everyone just sits In Silence....you think he would catch a hint by now

Have to listen
It’s essential listening for Bulls fans, but you have to wait out the host rambling obvious points, and then reiterating said obvious point in a slightly different way. He’s like a radio call in you can’t hang up on.

More Kendall Gill
The show is great. Goff loses the thread occasionally but that’s where fun is created. Rob and KC bring solid insights. Management Tony Gill makes appearances. But the Kendall Gill story from the set of Boomerang was a hidden gem. More Deep Thoughts with Kendall Gill, please!

Good content. Could be great.
Really good Bulls content. Jason gets long-winded and dominates the conversation too frequently, thus the four stars.

Share the ball
Jason Goff needs to let the other panel members talk more. At times, it seems like the Jason Goff show. I do not agree with him that Chicago is a City of haters. I like Zack and hope the Bulls build with him as KC recently wrote.

Great Bulls Pod
Podcast is perfect for Bulls fans looking to keep up with the team. Plus Jason Goff keeps it 100% and it actually seems like they genuinely like each. Their off-script conversations are 👌🏻

Goff Please Stop
Can we please get back to talking hoops? Either find a new host or Goff for gods sake, please just get out of the way and let KC and the crew speak. You are ruining what used to be a reliable Bulls pod.

Goff is not the right host
Sorry to say this but Goff is not the right host for this podcast. He has made it unlistenable and now I have to unfortunately unsubscribe. It’s a shame because this used to be one of my favorite podcasts.

Goff- shut up
Great pod but Jason Goff talks way too much. He just went on a 5 minute rant on Marklinen. The point he made was legit but he could have made the same point more effectively in 15 seconds.

Too Many interruptions by Goff
Jason is great as Bulls pre & post game host. But he talks way too much fluff on Podcast. He sets the table for a question and goes on and on. Constantly interrupts when someone else talks. I turn the podcast off when he does that-boring.
