    Stop cursing so much Chad!!!!
    I love the show to life!!!! I’m a Lyft driver and I can’t ever play your show as much cause Chad can’t stop the senseless cursing.
  • Astrrick
    Discrimination
    I left a one star review because I feel as though this show and all of sports media have pushed this Anthony Edwards face of the league argument; despite his LGBTQ+ hate. As a long time listener I thought this was a place where all people could have a voice defend them. Unfortunately this platform doesn’t seem to care about the minority I belong to. It saddens me as a day one listener that topic was never even addressed. If this was a white man talking about another minority group he would be crucified. I truly hope you read my review and speak about it. I would be more than happy to remove this review and rating.

    Shannon Sharpe is a dangerous man. He allegedly has choked women. Not a good man.

  • Tank G.
    Too Many Ads
    Unc 10 minutes of ads before the podcasts actually starts is too much , it’s OD ! Even if I can skip them it’ll be the reason I stop listening to the pod and just catch the clips on YouTube
  • jeffcoolie
    No riddles
    Please and I mean please don’t do riddles on dunk on unc. I’m sorry but did not like it. Was just boring and it just ruined dunk on unc. I say this respectfully. Stick to the trivia please
  • The Rudra
    Too many repeat episodes
    I listen to every episode and there’s some discrepancies. 1 and 2 and 1 and 2 condensed I get, but I’m watching Feb 4 episodes and it’s back from midseason. For your podcast listeners, please check it out and fix up the library so I can watch in order. Thanks! Love yall.
  • big timon 2022

  • AdamBD
    Love it
    Just started listening to this after hearing a clip on the LeBatard Show, and you guys are really entertaining. I’m an old guy and I lived in Savannah for years, so have always been a fan of Unc, but gotta say 85 is really a good listen too.

    Shannon is a snake thinks he knows everything and will always get what he deserves. I think he lives alone with 3 dogs. Ocho should have his on show! I’m out!

    Love the show. I’m a day one listener but can we stop with the best of the week episodes. I think that’s doing too much. Thinking I have something new to listening too. Till I hear that I heard all this already this week.
  • Clairm0nts
    Be mindful of the ads
    I absolutely love this podcast, but I can’t help but feel frustrated with the increasing number of ads. The initial 8 minutes are already quite lengthy, and then there are ads at the 20-minute mark. It’s simply too much.
  • ovobriizy
    Ravens
    The defense could seriously stop from getting to the superbowl let alone win it
  • Kdub12345678910
    ADS👎🏽
    Great show but the amount of ads is ridiculous.
  • rojo_96

  • Flippa3xx
    Morning Cap!
    Nightcap is my favorite show.. but i feel this push of Kamala Harris shows who you are voting for..which makes your views of things a little shakey.. not good for business. Stay blessed

    Ocho deserves better
    Stopped following this show after Sharpe berated Ocho about being late while live streaming, Ocho didn’t deserve that. I hope he starts his own podcast I will definitely follow it if he does.
  • Raf-zilla

    Best Podcast
    This is by far the best podcast anyone can listen to and it’s an extreme compliment not only to the hosts, but the team behind them. In my opinion you need to 4 C’s to be successful in entertainment. Consistency, Content, Chemistry, and Credibility. This podcast has that every single episode. Keep it coming guys, God bless.
  • 420PerfextTiming
    Q and aye

  • Jay T73
    Shannon is a clown
    Man I definitely used to support you, man. But the way I see you go hard for that white gorl I. Indiana. And have so much vitriol for black women athletes. Is definitely a sign of bought and paid for coonery. Good luck Ocho. Wishing you much success, Bro.
  • Neptune dro
    GROWTH

  • JimmyRMatt
    “Monicaaaaaaaaa!”
    Please, please, bring Ms. McNutt back for all basketball topics. I think you the guys just found a hit that’s about to catapult the show to entire new level!!!!
  • Radskd
    One of my favorite podcasts
    I tell my husband all the time “you need to listen to this podcast with Shannon and Ocho it’s so good.” I watched you both play football and so glad you teamed up and started this podcast. Love the dynamic between you guys. Ocho makes me laugh every day. I also love how you can watch the sporting event and then hours later listen to your thoughts about it. I am a 50-year-old woman who loves sports and I am so glad I found this podcast. Keep doing what you’re doing!
  • king emeka
    Great show
    Keep giving us great content.
  • Thejess44
    Hmm
    U appreciate ocho trying to learn about basketball. But I’m being honest… I look and see what ur talking about now.. then decide if I want to download. I know Ocho is new to basketball commentary. But it can be painful for someone who wants to just hear analysts. He is doing better.
  • jsirleaf15
    Love it
    Love the show, only one complaint. I’ve noticed on Apple podcast (not sure in youtube) where you guys overlap in audio like there is a delay. It’s been couple of episodes that’s been happening in. I don’t know if it’s cause of editing or what but it can be really obnoxious. Other than that, I love the show!!
  • J_Rhodes
    I love the podcast!
    I really do enjoy the podcasts. My only small gripe is that I feel like Gil is left out of things when talking about the podcast as a whole. I would also like to see Gil have his own segment of something like The Dunk on Unc or Spell-O-Cinco.
  • иуιмα
    Tighten up Ocho!!!
    Ocho getting more unrealistic episodes by episode. Dude cant Be this naive on basketball and the front office of sports smh… its not believable Unc!!
  • Unc Phill
    Question
    Love the show. But how to ask questions on the show? I’ve submitted two so far & neither have been answered.
  • Guilford Madison
    Keep it up!!!
    Tell ocho to take a nap or something for the late shows. His energy is dead and it’s too frequent on late shows. Wake up man !!!
  • CalFree91
    Chad rambles too much
    It would be nice if Shannon could get the headline of the topic out before Chad talks over him.
  • djdrida
    Love the podcast………..
    Hey Shay, I love the podcast with you Ocho and Gil been following your career for long time, glad to see you where you are from where you came from, big inspiration for us all. But you gone stop talking “ish” about my home state! THE ENTIRE STATE OF ALABAMA IS NOT RURAL!!! I’ve had to fight this since I was in the military. Birmingham (where I’m from), Huntsville, Montgomery, and Mobile are regular metro cities. This is surprising coming from you and you lived next door in Georgia. I expect it from people in the West or the Northeast that’s never been here. I know we’re not “where the party is“, but definitely not just mud puddles, farms, and football. I‘m very proud to be from a place that had a significant roll in the civil rights movement. Again, love what you do, I listen or watch everyday. Keep coming with great content. Back off my state though bruh!
