Dreger I actually like, though I don't really feel he is as connected as Frank was (is). Still, I appreciate how he comes across now. He used to be a personality that I really disliked in the past, but either I have changed, or he has changed. I usually enjoy his segments.


Noodles is always a fun listen. One of the best storytellers out there, and definitely the best guest they have on.


Personally, it feels like Barn Burner has gone off the rails. I am sure it isn't easy to keep things fresh, but it just seems overly manufactured and has been for some time. I used to really love listening to this, and now I just try to watch the Noodles and Dreger segments for the most part. Not sure what happened, but it doesn't feel the same any longer for some reason. Hopefully it reverts back to what it used to be, but i have been really giving up on the show overall. I probably wouldn't ever listen if it wasn't for Noodles, to be honest. Hey, maybe it is just me and people feel the complete opposite. I do wish their show success. I personally just noticed that I wasn't enjoying it any longer.


Edit: Francis I detested with every last cell of my body. However, he has been much better. I can't say that I love him, but I don't hate him any longer either. So maybe it is me changing? He seems way less abrasive and 'click-baity' than he seemed to be, though I do think he still does this at times. I just noticed he has improved.... or once again, I have changed. Coin-flip on that one.

As soon as anybody starts with that 'why wouldn't you cheer for edmonton' bit to an obvious fan of a rival team they are just being abrasive. I was neutral on Serevalli before that, now I just know what a clown he is. That's what fans do to trash talk, not impartial 'insiders'. Servalli can get bent.
