    Ivy Insights

    The Toucher & Rich podcast is an absolute gem for sports fans, especially those who love the Boston Celtics. Even during the offseason, I find myself tuning in every day because these guys are just that entertaining. One of my favorite aspects of the show is their coverage of college football with Feinbaum segments. However, I must admit that I would love to see even more coverage in that area. Overall, I give this podcast a solid five stars.

    The best aspects of The Toucher & Rich podcast are undoubtedly the hilarious banter and lighthearted sports talk. They strike the perfect balance between comedy and informative discussions, never becoming overbearing or too serious. Their interviews with guests are always entertaining and they have a knack for making even the most mundane topics interesting. The chemistry between Fred and Joe Murray is also something special - when they're both on the air together, it takes the show to another level.

    On the flip side, while I appreciate Rich's presence on the show, there's something missing when Fred and Joe aren't both on the air together. It's not to say that Rich isn't great, but there's an undeniable spark that comes alive when all three hosts are present. Additionally, some listeners feel that recurring guests like Joe Murray and Dan Lifshatz don't contribute much value to the show and could be left out.

    In conclusion, The Toucher & Rich podcast is one of the best radio shows out there in terms of comedy mixed with sports talk. Their ability to keep listeners entertained while providing insightful discussions is truly commendable. However, they could potentially improve by having more focused coverage on college football and reconsidering some of their recurring guests. Regardless, their humor and chemistry make them a top choice for fans across the globe who want a taste of home or simply enjoy good radio content.

Joe made a bet with Felgar that the Pats were going to be the worst team in the NFL last year, and he was pretty on point. Is Drake Maye really all that? People love radio drama, and swag. (23:37) WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT: Andrew Callahan's first what happened last night! The Red Sox got smoked 8-4 against the Reds in their final game of their three game series.
