Jeff Gluck crybaby hour I don’t see why people listen to this garbage anymore

Jeff and Jordan clearly hate each other. instead of leaning into it like Skip Bayless and Stephen A from back in the first take days, they pretend to be friendly and respectful of each other. They also deliver the most lukewarm takes imaginable.

Love the Teardown but wondered if the 12 Questions segment will be posted hear as in the past. Enjoy listening to that too.

Not a fan, there are better Dirty Mo shows like Hamlin’s.

Listened to my second episode of this show after the clash. They spent the first 20 minutes literally repeating the same things over and over. The podcast doesn’t add any true value to learning anything about the sport. All the dirty mo podcasts literally cover the same stuff every week and this hands down is the worst one.

Really love the instant Analysis of each race.. look forward to listening every Monday morning on my ride to work.. keep up the great work!

They publish soon after the race. If it wasn’t for that I’d probably not listen.

5 stars for Jeff Gluck, -3 for Jordan. I hit the fast forward button every time Jordan speaks. If it wasn’t for that 5 stars!

Thank you so much for the episode with Sherry, should be a must listen for every human!

While I like the content, these two constantly argue with each other in a way that’s frustrating to listen too. I’ve tried to listen to this a # of times. But end up stopping and unfollowing each time. If they showed any respect to the others viewpoints like other podcasts, it would be great. Just so hard to listen to.

This has become my favorite podcast, not just in NASCAR, but all of motorsports. Jeff and Jordan do a phenomenal job of hitting the big topics, shedding light on the under-the-radar news brewing, and feeding off each other. I tend to agree with Jeff 95% of the time, but these two have great points, insightful knowledge, and provide plenty of laughs along the way. Don’t change a thing!

I vote no. First of all, the theme music and intro make it sound like Jeff and Jordan are coming to you live from Jeff’s mom’s basement. Then, rather than actually break down the action and strategy as a good podcast would (see: “Stacking Pennies” with Corey Lajoie and crew), Jeff and Jordan waste an hour none of us will ever get back complaining about how horrible the racing is these days and how NASCAR must make changes this instant or face extinction. As if anything short of a three-wide photo finish with racecars crashing all over the place is boring. The so-called “good race poll” is a complete joke. Do football podcasters complain about how boring the game is when a team wins by four scores? (Maybe they do; I don’t listen to football podcasts). Does anyone suggest the NFL change the rules of play to avoid blowouts and boring games? (Again, maybe they do). Most people in their right mind (something I haven’t always been accused of) and most people who have racing fans long enough (all 35 years I have been alive, for me) know what makes classic races memorable is that they don’t happen all the time and they aren’t the norm. Jeff and Jordan clearly don’t understand that yet; it’s always laughable when they crap on any given NASCAR race (and they’re all good to me; the only bad race I’ve ever seen was the 2001 Daytona 500) yet gush over any given F1 race where Max Verstappen led every single lap and won by a full ZIP code. I would have rated this a zero/0, but a one/1 is the lowest score I am permitted to give. If you made it this far into my rant (which was probably more entertaining to read than listening to Jeff and Jordan talk about racing, then please do yourself a favor and redeem the time we’ve all wasted by listening to “Stacking Pennies” instead. Thanks everybody.

You guys are a treasure. Keep up the awesome job you’re doing. Jeff always has solid takes on what’s happening on track. Jordan never fails to stay ahead of the curve and breaking news before it’s news. But dude,(Jordan) ya need to get a life. Jeff keep working on him.

Ever since becoming a regular NASCAR viewer in 2019 (returning after watching as a kid in the 1990s and early 2000s), I had looked forward to the post-race analysis provided by this podcast. However, in the last year, I’ve found this podcast becoming an increasingly tedious and frustrating listen. Less analysis than a regurgitation of hot takes and opinions generated seemingly more to create controversy than provide insights into the racing and the events we just watched happen. But by far the most frustrating aspect of this podcast and why I’ve finally unsubscribed - “the good race poll.” This is the scourge of following NASCAR on social media. Judging every race by the arbitrary “was it a good race” cheapens the experience of watching a NASCAR race. Every race won’t be a mad dash, three wide race to the line with crazy storylines. Some will be dominated by one driver or team. Some will have long, endless green flag runs. Some will have bad officiating calls, tire failure problems, or endless wrecks. That’s all part of the sport - always has been, even in the nostalgia-fueled, [not as] golden [as everyone remembers them] days of the past. The slow burn races or sleepy ones make the really great races all the more memorable and incredible. The “was it a good race?” concept has come to dominate NASCAR social media conversations, making already negatively-charged NASCAR fans even more inclined to kick and scream that everything is terrible, all the time. What’s worse is that the hosts of the show have followed NASCAR social media down this path, shaping their own conversations around the “was it a good race” framing. For now, I’m stepping away from this show with the hope that the cogent and enlightening post-race analysis will return someday in the future.

Favorite nascar pod along with Door Bumper Clear. Great work Jeff and Jordan!

It is so great to have another podcast to add to my week. Jeff is the foundation of this Podcast real even keel. Great insightful discussion everything NASCAR. Grateful to have it during the weekly grind.

Jeff needs to figure out how much time to spend on a topic. I have yet to be able to listen to an entire podcast simply because Jeff just can’t move on to a new topic without completely beating that dead horse to a pulp. Let it go man! Make your point and move on. Jordan doesn’t have to agree with you!

While I love the content of this show, and respect both individuals … I listen to a lot of podcasts where people bust balls etc…and it feels like you’re in the room with them. I feel like Jordan and Jeff don’t actually like each other or they just have some upper level PHD sarcasm that I cant see through because it can be painfully awkward sometimes…again they’re both fantastic and have contributed a lot to the sport, but I genuinely don’t think they like each other and that comes through when you listen to them … I hope that changes someday because there’s no better nascar content out there. Appreciate both of you. Take care

Would like to see an updated 12 questions interview with Trevor Bayne!

Jeff and Jordan have one of the best weekly Motorsports Podcasts out there. Every week they discuss the races and offer their insights on NASCAR, F1 and Indycar. These two have a great, humorous relationship and are always entertaining. Plus their articles on The Athletic are expertly written and make for some great reads during the racing season. You guys are awesome and I appreciate the great content you give us race fans. Thank you!

This is a great podcast, that is available immediately after the results of Sunday. Great breakdown of the events that happened, centered around NASCAR but not limited to. Give it a listen you’ll be glad you did, Jeff and Jordan are calm level headed takes on what is happening in motorsports 👍👍

This used to be my favorite Nascar podcast. Couldn’t even wait till my commute on Monday morning to listen. Now, this is an F1 first podcast. I got no beef with F1, but neither of these guys seem to show the same interest in Nascar anymore. When they do talk Nascar, they barely scratch the surface of story lines. Each week the Nascar segment gets shorter and shorter. It just stinks at what it has become. I get F1 has become much more popular than it used to be, but at least change the logo of the podcast so people know this is not Nascar first anymore. Honest feedback.

So many negative and winey thoughts annoying to listen too

I like the show. But I’m getting pretty tired of hearing Jeff complain about Bristol dirt and Jordan’s was it a good race picks. Just breakdown the race and stop complaining.

I’ve tried so long, just can’t keep listening to Jeff Glcls whining! Go write for Cosmo and cover the housewives!!

IMHO they break it down and analyze the weekends’ best racing. Obviously, focused on Nascar, but also great with F1 and indycar as well. I like their f1 analysis and would like to have them do an F1 tear down to run parallel to and independently of the Nascar pod. Not that they have the time or ability to be in two different parts of the world simultaneously. But these guys are so good they could successfully pull it off. Keep up the great work and thank you for adding to the action

The podcast is hard to listen to at times due to all the “kidding around” bickering. Some of that can be fun, too much is annoying. These guys don’t seem to have that balance figured out.

I tried.

Jordan “NASCAR keeps trying to make itself more open to all kinds of people, and a vocal minority continues to oppose that” There is no race fan I have ever met that doesn’t want NASCAR to have a broader reach across all demographics. Just another intellectually depraved straw man. “If you disagree with my opinion you are literally Hitler”. Jordan’s depth on politics infects almost every discussion on the podcast.

Amazing show with great insight to the sport.

Great podcast and love how quick it comes out after a race. Been following Jeff for years and wasn't sure about the switch to the athletic, but I love it. So much content. Jordan adds a lot too with his knowledge. I like the added dirt and F1 coverage.

I’m just getting back into NASCAR and saw this one from The Athletic, but the hosts are just so negative about the races.

I enjoy different views of each races from Jordon and Jeff. Every week, after the race I can't wait to hear this podcast.

I tried, I really did. Bianchi is great on this pod and on The Athletic as well. But I just can’t take Gluck anymore. With the exception of 12 Questions (which is still great he should stick to that tbh) his work both on the site and particularly on this pod is lacking. He often talks about being “out of touch” with the fan base. He is totally right about that. Worse, he’s out of touch with being a journalist! He often poses questions that us readers want the answers to, but doesn’t pursue them! And instead thinks that simply putting the question out loud is the job. After one race they were discussing the upcoming driver/nascar safety recap from the race and he actually said out loud “man I wish I could be in that room”. YEAH SO DO WE. That’s what we want our journalists to do, find out what goes on in the rooms we can’t get into! Instead he was just like “haha jeez I bet it’s interesting”. I almost feel bad being so specific and mean about Gluck right now, but he’s honestly so negative and flippant about even providing what fans want that I just needed to vent

Had to stop listening to this after a month. Just couldn’t do it anymore. Too much negativity, and they don’t give any insight into the race. Jeff whines the whole time and then talks about politics and other irrelevant things.

When Gluck was doing his own thing he seemed really passionate about the sport and truly seemed like he had his finger on the pulse of the sport. Ever since last year he’s really become awful at his job. No other way to put it. I’m the first to be critical about NASCAR’s current direction but Jeff has openly said things like “well atleast I don’t have to be a fan I’m just a reporter”. Just his overall demeanor and opinions are lazy and he seems to be checked out. I think that’s what’s happens when someone just ends up in NASCAR media because it was popular 20 years ago. Jordan Bianchi is a lifelong fan of motor sports and you can hear his passion. Jeff seems to be more focused on making sure everyone knows he’s now a big F1 guy and that makes him better and smarter than you. I pay for The Athletic but now the podcasts are free so that also makes me think that most people have a similar opinion about this podcast.

All jeff cares to talk about is whether or not in his opinion a race is entertaining or not. One week he complains about stage breaks then the next he complains about long green flag runs. Its mostly just negativity. I would like to find a show that talks about the actual racing on the track and not just opinions about what they think the fans opinions will be and who said what on twitter. Also the “alright everybody” intro is obnoxious

Awesome NASCAR podcast. I listen every week during the season and look forward to it after every race day. Hot take as I’m listening right now, the show is better without Gluck and it’s not even close. Bianchi is awesome. Ditch Gluck and find someone else or keep letting Bianchi have a guest host each week.

My favorite NASCAR podcast.

A question you guys could answer for me. When Ty won the snowball derby, he got out of the car. Then an official patted him down. What were they looking for? 5 stars for the job you guys do on the tear down! Your avid listener Beeper Stahl

I like the timing of the podcast with discussion right after the race. The podcast could be half as long. Jeff brings up good points but then rehashes them over and over. I think Jordan makes his point and is ready to move on. Either add more content if you want a 40 minute podcast or cut it down to 20.

Love the podcast! Name suggestion for the listeners is the Wrecking Crew.

Jeff doesn’t need a co-host. Enough said.

I’m surprised these guys haven’t shut the show down and denounced their white privilege.

Awesome podcast! Great perspective and insight. Keep up the great work, guys!

I enjoy the show. But for the life of me I have never found another podcast more predictable, in that there will be fault found with every race, every call. Tonight is a shining example. The on-Track product was incredible. I am not speaking of just the crashes. I mean the parity, the competitive racing, the lead changes...it was nail-biting from start to finish. Finally a super speedway race with no single file boredom. It was 2, 3, 4, and even 5 five wide from the drop of the green flag to the checkered. Digging all the way. I’m not an 11 fan, and the race didn’t work out the way I wanted. But my God, how can you gripe about this race? You were angry that Regan was DQ’d for going below the yellow, and YOU WERE RIGHT. Now your angry because NASCAR called the race in the way that you WANTED them to call it. Change has to start somewhere. They gave you exactly what you were angry that they didn’t give you before. That is exceedingly frustrating to me. I haven’t been that entertained by a NASCAR Cup race in years. But yet, somehow, Teardown finds a problem with it, which I hate to admit has become very typical. I honestly don’t believe you would enjoy a race if they let you call it yourself. The point of the Teardown shouldn’t be to find what’s wrong with a race, at the expense of forgetting what you asked for. The point should be to find what was done right. Anyone who says that this race was sub-par, right down to the finish needs to go watch an INDYCAR race with 30 seconds between 1st and 2nd, that only loyalty to the brand can keep you awake to watch. They called it the way it should be called. Finally. Be grateful. Anyway, in that I wasn’t all that kind in my review, here are your five stars for staying up late and giving us something to listen to. Thank you from Southwest Louisiana James

I wait on my bed every Raceday-Night to wait for the podcast to upload!!! Love it!!

Their NASCAR coverage is fine but between Jeff’s whiny voice and his whiny liberal political views, it’s not a fun listen.

Keeping tearing down the sport with your constant negativity and nagging. Unsubscribed

This is a good podcast. I really enjoyed it at first but with all the drama around the sport I have really lost interest. Jordan is refreshing but Jeff is way too liberal for me. Politics don’t belong in NASCAR or motorsports podcasts. I’ll give this show another chance when all of the drama in the sport ends.
