Can’t take take Ari’s insufferable pomposity anymore. Time to unfollow. I won’t miss his “contextualizing,” “revelatory,” and - especially - his “proof of concept” references. Darn shame. This was a good show until that chooch was added. On to other CFB podcasts (but not Wetzel’s), done with that show as well.

I can't even listen anymore. Andy constantly interrupting Ari with blazing condescension is infuriating. You can tell he doesn't even listen, he's just thinking about what he's going to say next. I'm out

Decent college football show, glad they added Ari to the show (adds perspective and depth to the show) I wish there was a flag for segments they yell and argue so we all can skip. Really diminishes what is an otherwise good show, but there are plenty raunchy daytime sports shows if I want to hear 2 people yell nonsense at each other.

I used to find Ari’s takes intolerable, but then the athletic replaced him with Damien Harris and I realised I didn’t actually know what bad podcasting was. He’s still wrong about most of his takes, but I begrudgingly enjoy his content now.

Spicy takes and spicy nuggets

So glad he’s back with Andy

Glad Andy and Ari and back together! Having them on separate shows for a year+ was like going to your favorite tex-mex restaurant and only having refried beans or rice as your side. The full meal is always better with both. With that said… Dear Andy and Ari, If you were to describe/compare your professional relationship as a meal, what meal would it be? Thanks for the great show! Wil

Georgia fan here! I tend to stick with Georgia and SEC content. However, I have found myself listening to Andy and Ari everyday. I love the fun topics and the interesting content. Thanks for genuinely having a non-biased view on all teams.

The SEC propaganda has gone off the charts at this point

Andy is the best!

Why do they not have a subscription option? The number of ads is crazy

Ari is great, his co-host is unlikable.

I been listening to these guys since the original show and I have been reading Andy since SI; I think Ari and Andy have great chemistry together. I tried the this show when Andy started it up and it didn’t work for me. With Ari back on, yin and the yang work. Keep it up guys. Roll Tide!

Day by day Andy gets more certain he knows EVERYTHING and is right about everything… I was pumped when Ari showed up, but Andy has turned into Rachel Hannity… ugh

I’ve been listening to both Ari and Andy since the original athletic pod. I used to not be able to stand Ari and his views on recruiting and the playoff. I have grown to absolutely love him and truly enjoy each and every wild take that he has. Neither Andy or Ari are afraid to voice their opinions and are incredibly knowledgeable. I have, and will continue to listen follow these two wherever they go! Thanks for reuniting and producing some incredible content. Also….. Go Blue!

Woo-eee there are a lot of ads. I get it, it’s a free podcast, what can I say? But I did wonder if the title of the pod was a play on ‘we don’t start the pod til the third minute’. I know these guys were originally together but I kind of miss last year’s Ari and Ubben dynamic on Until Saturday.

Nobody loves the sound of their own voice more than than Andy. So annoyingly arrogant and a turnoff. Oh and there’s a lot of adds disguised as actual show. It’s lame. . Ari’s a great guy but Andy…. No thanks.

I am on the road a ton and Andy is dude!!! I am a college football freak fanatic and is the Godfather of podcast in college football!! The world doesn’t deserve ANDY STAPLES!! Glad Ari is back as well

Andy & Ari perfectly captures the quirkiness that makes CFB the unique product that we know and love. If you love CFB, hit subscribe.

Andy and Ari together make college football so much better. Great team and couldn’t be happier they’re working together again.

Ari is a tough listen man

So happy Andy and Ari are back together

Getting the band back together was a great idea. As much as Ari drove me crazy, the dynamic worked. I will say, Ari does seem a little more reasonable this time around. Though I’m not sure if it’s just for show, or if Michigan winning the natty really did rewire his brain. Hopefully it’s the latter, but I still laughed quite a bit at his claim that he’s a “big ten guy.” You might’ve come to your senses a bit, but you ain’t fooling me buddy. Some of us listened to the A.S.S. and remember you saying Kentucky would be the third best team in the big ten the week before they lost to Vandy (at home as two touchdown favorites no less 😂). But I’m cool with a more reasonable Ari, even if he’s not a “big ten guy.” Anyway, new show is great. Keep it up.

Glad these two guys are back together. They are much better together than either was apart. However, the number of ads in this show makes it borderline unlistenable. There’s a balance between paying the bills and maintaining a quality/enjoyable product and they’re currently on the wrong end of it.

Huge Michigan fan. One

Like Paul McCartney, Andy was great solo. But he was better with the Beatles. Glad Ari has gotten the band back together and we should all be happier for it. some of the Wasserman hotcakes are nuts and out of left field, but that is what makes him him. Just enjoy the ride.

Was enjoying the new format with varied guests, had a lot of good discussions. Then Ari came back and the show is just not enjoyable. The lack of basic knowledge and intelligence is a chore to listen to. I’ve heard more informed football conversations between children

Andy. Ari. Not going to lie. I cried (inside, and only manly tears) when I saw the reunion. It’s peanut butter reuniting with jelly!!! Ari, you know me as Sad Husker Nate. Andy, you’ll appreciate my answer to his last question for me…”what will make not sad Husker Nate?” Simple. Bowl game/beating teams that we SHOULD beat because we don’t look at our foot and decide it’d be awesome to just beat it with a club until it’s gone…that’s it. Question: is UGA kinda sneakily actually the greatest dynasty since the 90’s Huskers? As far as dominance, wins, etc. Yes, there’s was Bama. But all of those Bama teams had major flaws and losses in almost every season. UGA is just a total bully similar to those 90’s Huskers where the “down year” is a loss in the SEC champ game or a loss to Az.St. who winds up winning the Rose Bowl? The “best” Bama teams still lost to Ole Miss and teams they SHOULD beat by any metric… Boys…I’m so glad you’re back! BTW, Ari! Doing 3 kiddos under 3 is truly insane. The tiredness in me is unspeakable lol later dudes!!!

the band is back together.

Game on! A&A:Content with characters who share their knowledge, stories. The transfer podcast portal reigns. Words matter.

Stars matter. Two One Star solo hosts come together to make a Five Star Podcast. It’s a bad at math show. They’ll figure it out.

Guess who’s back… Best duo in college football.

The best thing about Andy leaving the Athletic was not having to listen to Ari’s simplistically stupid takes on recruiting and his overall dumbassery. Now he’s back and I’m so bummed. BUT, now that we have the AI transcript function, you can just blaze through the Ari parts and listen to the one person on this podcast who isn’t a dumb ape.

Love the show, not exactly sure why there needs to be a co-host. Andy is good as is. Co-host, when you ask questions and don’t know the answers in a public forum - not a good look. Good luck Ari. Not a fan of the new set up.

Glad you got the band back today with Ari. You guys are great together!

I’m so sad to see Ari being brought on to ride coattails again. Insta-Unsubscribe.

Love that Andy and Ari are back. Great chemistry but I will say I think Andy needs to learn to host again. He consistently kept interrupting Ari even when Ari said he was going to try and make a point and Andy just kept jumping in. I know he will get better but that did standout. Glad the band is back together though. Good luck on the season.

Andy (and Ari) compete my Sunday mornings with their post game takes. Love the podcast!

Happy to see Ari and Andy back together talking college football with a few food related hot takes.

The moment he left the Athletic, I had a feeling he would reappear here. And he did! I hope I remember all of the inside jokes.

Holy ads

Football on a daily basis he does a good show every day covering college sports and his contacts are excellent contributor give the show a shot and hear for yourself. There are lots of really good sports podcast, but Andy is reliably. One of the top shows. He is creative, thoughtful, and he has a good sense of humor. Give him a try. I bet you like it even if you’re Gator fan.

The show has a lot of good information but have to be ready with the fast forward button because it is 50% college football and 50% video game content.

Good show and very informative. But, please give the new video game a rest. Every other show has something to with the EA Sports College Football game. The game has nothing to do with what happens on Saturday. Stick to that.

One of the better college football podcasts (I listen to a lot of them). Andy is usually first to market with CFB information and consistently puts out lots of relevant content with good guests. But, the ads are very long and not really informative. Mostly FanDuel state-by-state fine print that just distracts from the overall show. I get the need for sponsors to keep the light on, but those 2-min long ads in the middle of the show really degrade the listening value.

Our guy here is missing Ari. Become a snooze fest

Andy, I love the show , but this last show of gushing over JH, is a stretch at best, they cheated & all the evidence that they have of this, even when UM wins the title its gonna be stripped in 2yra & that game Monday was mistake ridden on both sides, Michigan just happened to be the winner of Bama not getting the calls & breaks that they’ve had all year,UGA beats Michigan by 10 easy

Andy doesn’t love college football. He loves drama and entertainment and silliness when wrapped in the dressings of amateur football but these are very different things. He is a playoff expansion apologist no matter the cost to the sport and defers always to “the way it is” rather than how it should be. This allows him to take zero stances on anything and always be right. He yells about all the “good games” we’ll get through realignment or playoff expansion because he’s too shallow to appreciate the glory of traditional college football.

Great show with Patrick Meagher, Andy! Hope you have him on more frequently!

Andy, I came to your show for you when it was at the athletic and just tolerated Ari. Now, I find myself listening to Ari and Ubben consistently and forgoing your show/listening and disliking it solely bc Simonton is not any good. I mean that with the least disrespect to him as possible.
