Big fan of Matt's food takes, but April needs to stop talking about Merseyside Red FC so much. Otherwise they do a good job. Love to see their cats on the youtube version of the pod!

This is a great podcast. The amount of time and effort required to consistently create and publish these episodes must be enormous. Michael and Alicia are wonderful hosts and are very entertaining. I look forward to each episode being released. Very much enjoy listening to it on my commute and when at the gym etc. Thanks! Happy holidays. Chappy

Love the biased Trojan fandom that resonates from Michael and Alicia! They are stoked when the football team wins, and legitimately disconsolate when the losses and befuddling 4th quarter collapses accumulate - they feel it! And they try to disseminate information that is objective, knowledgeable, and helpful, but feel correctly thwarted by aspects of the entire USC administration and revenue-sharing management that jeopardize the reputation and proficiency of the on-field performances and historic brand. They exude real passion for USC, and it hurts them that these successive .500 seasons and lower tier bowl appearances have damaged the elite competitive expectations for their beloved Trojans. The USC football fan base is spiraling in their collective head scratching - especially during this transfer portal exodus. May I suggest that Michael and Alicia transfer their heartfelt allegiance to the USC Women’s basketball team and discuss its exploits if they’re anxious for Trojan excellence and dominance? They also occasionally launch into food reviews and discussions of their particular taste for ingredients and dishes that are great! At some point they’ll drill down into palette sophistication and how taste develops and matures. I look forward to their evolution as a podcast.

Great job.. Jahkeem’s old High School wouldn’t allow him to graduate early, so he changed schools and the Louisiana board ruled him ineligible.. So Jahkeem worked with a trainer his whole senior year.. He also worked out in person for Eric Henderson..

Could be. No hate to peristyle or traveler hates Thursdays or anybody. But no one does it like Michael and Alicia; I also like when they occasionally veer lightly into EPL and F1. They’re just incredibly charming, smart, deeply invested in the team but not in a cheesy boring boosterish way or in a constantly catastrophizing way. Hard balance to strike, but they’ve found it. Love them!

Michael and Alicia strike the perfect balance of being huge SC fans while maintaining objectivity in their analysis and commentary. They put a ton of work into each episode and it shows. On top of that, they are genuinely great people and a joy to listen to every week. I’ve never left an online review for anything until now, but these guys deserve it. Fight on!

Really enjoy each show they do. They’re both knowledgeable and reasonable, which is absent with some other podcasters. They have great chemistry and don’t mind challenging one another. It’s nice to be able to walk through the football season with others who may be, shall I say “optimistic” and/or “pessimistic” from game to game. It’s all rainbows and butterflies with these two, never pickles and hot sauce! Thanks for all you two do! Fight On!

Fabulous POD that is therapeutic! Great chemistry and in depth knowledge about what’s going on in the Trojan football world and behind the scenes. I get to celebrate and commensurate virtually with this team! Thanks for all the joy you bring me! Keep up the great work! USC ‘91, ‘95

I am NOT a Trojan fan. But Alison’s guest appearance and demeanor convinced me to listen and watch several episodes ( podcasts and YouTube). Impressed and appreciative of great REAL people, analysis, discussion Great podcast. And no I don’t agree with all the takes, just appreciate the points of view and thoughtfulness.

Great show but please…Michael you've regressed and gotten worse at saying the word “like” or “it’s like” constantly. It’s unprofessional and annoying.
