Meanwhile, Jon's background as a former Eagles fullback brings a unique perspective to their discussions. His thoughtfulness and articulate manner of speaking make for engaging and insightful conversations. However, it's not just the hosts that make this podcast great; James, the producer with a voice reminiscent of Charlie Day, adds another fantastic element to the show.

However, one criticism that could be made about this podcast is Spike's nickname and style choices continue to perplex some listeners.
