An Arizona Sports Talk Show brought to you by... ACTUAL Arizona Natives! We went to High School here, College here, live here, raise families here, and will call this home forever.

We can truly be raw, real, and blunt about ours teams because we grew up in their backyard. We know what it’s like to sit in those stadiums and suffer brutal defeats... and we know what it’s like to sit up at night and feel the hope...
