The Greatest

The Super Bowl is upon us, and believe it or not, many out there say they watch The Big Game just for the commercials! Now, not all of us feel that strongly about the breaks in the action, but you can't deny that they have become an essential part of the show. This week, Megan and C.J. welcome Mary Santora (Alan Cox Show, "Hillbilly Boujee" https://orcd.co/hillbillyboujee) as they discuss their picks for the greatest Super Bowl com...

On this episode of The Greatest, listen as Megan, C.J. and guest, Joe Kwaczala (Who Cares About the Rock Hall? podcast) fondly recall a time when throngs of fans would move as one to the irresistible sound of a stadium anthem. Perhaps those times will be back again soon, but until then, get hyped to this conversation about the greatest stadium songs ever and look forward to our return to the stands.

Ahhhhhhhh! It's the holiday season once again, and although this year may be different for many of us out there, one thing will remain the same – NBA Christmas games! So rejoice in the joy of the Christmas basketball spirit with The Greatest duo and their guest, Kenny DeForest (James Corden, Seth Meyers) as they get you ready for the occasion and discuss the best of the NBA Christmas games.

It was one year ago that Megan and C.J. became teammates in life, and in that year, a lot happened.
