"Radio is the best medium. DON'T QUIT ON RADIO!" - Mike Francesa I needed this. Thank you!

[@jonathansprings5000]

"Guts of a burglar" lol

[@Carisma1005]

Has he heard half the shit they said on the podcast?

[@publicdomain9971]

Carisma1005 no. he only heard of them because of bill simmons and bill made it seem like desus and mero were big fans who only said great things about mike. im sure after this people on social media will let mike know.

[@8877dksljfa]

This is all I can think about!!

[@KnotBoxing]

Yeah this so crazy thought they were gonna bring it up

[@piokj1]

Carisma1005 "ayee first time long time... ima ask a question then hang up"

[@BabyWolf_BG-Bandit]

[@MORBIDHOUND]

What if they Got Michael Anthony for the last episode.

[@jayclist5959]

[@2ndRatePetronius]

This is INCREDIBLE. The struggle to compliment Francesa versus talk the shit they say about him in the pod to his face is real.

[@ceeza314]

they joke on him but hes an institution and they really listen to him all the time.. they dont have malice with their jokes. yall really dont get comedy.

[@brandonshalkowski6464]

they loving this NY dudes getting to break it down with Francesa

[@Super.average]
