    JJ and Alex is terrible
    This new show is so boring. I cannot listen to it. I loved Unrivaled and Alex and Scott’s banter. Please bring back Scott Mitchell.
  • Go jazz!!!
    The Best on the Air
    Alex and Scott are absolutely fantastic. Go Utes.

    Poor Show - Lack Of Preparation And Partisan
    Scott Mitchell doesn't prepare well and isn't as familiar with teams as he should. It's really hard to listen to. Hans and Scotty should replace them.
  • Mitchell S. Wall
    Not the worst, just don’t see the show’s draw
    Firstly, “Unrivaled” portrays the show as a good Utah/BYU split opinion show, which is not remotely true. Mitchell is unquestionably a Ute homer which would be fine if the opposite side of the coin is represented, but Kirry does zero to ever push back and comes off as a Ute partisan himself more times than not. And they’ve just been so woefully behind the news cycle on every issue, that I don’t know what fresh perspective or analysis they bring to anything. Sometimes they have good guests and they’re not the worst by any means, but the show has an overall feel of low-level talent who see themselves as the premier talk show in the market, and there’s an undeserved arrogance to their presentation, especially given the lack of original thought presented on much of anything

    Typical PAC 12 homers… Arrogant, elitist and narcissistic.

    Awful sports radio content
    These guys are a awful replacement of Jake and Gordon. They’re fine in a non prime time spot, but they’re no where close to what the Big Show was. They pretend to know about the NBA. They lost the NBA insider group of writers like Sam Amick and others. I can’t and won’t listen to them anymore and I’m just waiting for the crappy rating to catch up with them and maybe we’ll get Jake and Ben in that spot 🙏

    I took some time today to listen to your show!! KSL Unrivaled , is a fantastic podcast with great info, advice, and perspectives. You won't regret listening to and learning from the podcast.

    Unrivaled Is Awful
    I’ve never been so bored when listening to sports radio. Monotone voices. Zero chemistry. All Football all the time gets really old really fast
  • InloveinUtah
    LOVE YOU SCOTT!
    I listen every day to this show- have for years. Moved from Utah to Oklahoma and haven’t missed a day. And that review Scott read today from lame sauce grumpy pants man … Ugggg. ‘He made me tired all over’ in the words of James Gardner. The sad man does obviously does NOT know and/or appreciate fantastic radio, HILARIOUS radio, informative educational and enlightening radio. Nor is he bright enough to appreciate amazing chemistry, entertaining perspectives, hot debates, and an all around unparalleled show! Scott and Alex - LOVE you guys. Keep making it real and doing what you do!
  • anonymous 123346789123356789
    I love this radio show
    I am a younger person but I listen every night that your show is on on a 1980’s boom box. I must hear more about things and instead of telling so much about the 2 minute drill just say ‘we have two minutes to talk about this so let’s get it done.’ I love this show and I’ve been listening for over 2-3 years now and am overall very impressed. Best of wishes, The writer of this review!
  • Ashj2468
    Great show!
    I really enjoy both of these hosts and what they add to the show. Great discussions on local Utah sports. Alex has always made me laugh and I’ve always liked listening to him. Scott is great too. Glad I found this podcast!
  • Car11113
    Such a fun show
    This is a great radio show and love what these two guys do. They are funny and bring a different perspective.
  • Omfttd

    I’m a BYU fan but I love it when Tom Hackett co-hosts the show. He is one of my favorite people. The things he says make so much sense.
  • Jumpman111
    Good show. Would like to see full episodes available as a single download.
    Also, has Scott heard Alex sing “Utah Person?” Would love to hear Scott’s reaction.
  • Aguante Aggies
    Like the show. I want more Aggie content.
    I think the hosts are fun to listen to. I would like to hear more about the best football and basketball team in the state.
  • R7Bear
    Prepare for your speakers to blow.
    Aside from the arrogance of the Mitchell guy, the KSL adds they play are like 40% louder than the show itself. There has been two times I have been driving home and the Salt Lake Stallions ad came on and it was so much louder than the podcast, it woke my son up. the Audio mastering is an outright joke.
  • blue texan
    Needs Serious Improvement
    I love the show. But whoever is cutting the podcast does a seriously horrible job. I personally volunteer my own services to cut the podcast and upload it because it’s currently almost unlistenable. Seriously. Segments are chopped straight in the middle. Sometimes they surface later in the episode, sometimes not. Also, who in the heck wrote this as a title for Wednesday October 10th’s show? “1160am, byu, byufootball, clemson, kellybryant, ksl, kslnewsradio, mlb, nba, ncaaf, nfl, nike, utah, utahfootbalal, utahjazz, utahstate, utahstatefootball” Love the show, hate the podcast. Come on KSL, you’re better than this.

    Alex You are the best
    I’ve listened to Alex for years on the nightside project and I’m glad he’s back on the air. you’re OK too Scott.
