Very much appreciate the content and the community. Looking forward to the future.

Long live Birds with Friends.

BwF forever. Thanks Bo, Zach, Marissa and Sheil!

You must tell us if the show is over I need this in my life! Insane to end it right when the season starts Love the dynamic between the boys, Marisa is always a joy Intelligent, funny, diverse viewpoints and opinions, spot on social and political commentary by Bo Top tier podcast baby go birds

Congratulations to Zach on winning the 2022 Eagles Predictions Title. Well done good sir!

Haven’t reviewed in a while. Just want to say I love you guys. Thanks for keeping this show going for so long.

Would be a great podcast if they replaced Bo with someone who's actually funny and doesn't constantly interrupt his counterpart.

Never won a Grammy Won’t win a Tony But they’re the only eagles podcasters keeping it real When they grab the microphone the boys go “Ill”

perfect balance of energy, light heartedness, information density, and reflection. Bo deserves an emmy, grammy, and a tony.

Listened to the pod since the Nigel Bradham Panthers game and love anyone related to a fellow Cont. But Bo stealing water was a full Constanza in the fire and intrepid reporter ZBerm’s mispronounced enough names that I know the Big V story is a lie. Will always miss Sheil but still the best pod on the beat. Love you guys and the Dunns and Elijah

Great show

Love the show and the dynamic between Bo and Zach. Not sure why Zach calls it the “non-playing season” when Bo’s got him playing games all year round.

I want to listen to this show because I love Eagles content, but Bo makes this show unlistenable. He is a great writer, but on the show he comes off as an insecure bully. He goes on uninteresting and unfunny tangents, like weird bathroom etiquette conversation that just doesn’t land. He gets defensive and derails the conversation every time he feels attacked, which is often. I can’t listen anymore until they get someone new. I have never left a bad review before but honestly this pod has become a waste of time.

Zach balking on the $500 bet regarding the horrible Wash CB was great.

This was (nearly) unlistenable (I say nearly because I obviously kept listening for a while. I haven’t listened since the season ended and jesus - Shiel comes out swinging - dropping yucky snark like Nate the Wonder Kid from Ted Lasso, and then it just went downhill with countless, pointless diversions and flat jokes. So little football.

The show is in a tailspin since Shiel left. Bo spends more than half the airtime talking about nonsense and the other half interrupting everyone. Why even bother having cohosts and producers that talk if you don’t let them ever speak two full sentences in a row?!

Podcast titles like “Dental Pelican (Ibis-a Needs Braces)” are what will make me a BWF sicko for life. Where else are you going to get that? My only request is that the podcast dig even deeper into the details of Zach’s political beliefs, both contemporary and historical. Would Zach be a Whig or a Democratic-Republican? The listening public demands to know.

Basically a situational comedy delivered in podcast format. Great eagle’s content delivered in an entertaining style. Bo is a creative force and the epitome of a professional. Zach brings balance with his vast sports knowledge and no funny business attitude. Marissa’s role has grown on the show and that is a positive addition. Excellent pod!

I’ve always taken umbrage with Bo’s Calvin Ridley slander. I worked with kids in foster care in Broward County and worked with many who lived in the foster community Calvin Ridley lived at while in high school. After reading his players tribune piece, I’m curious if Bo is willing to admit he has always been wrong to dump on Calvin!!!??

More than a podcast: it’s a lifestyle. Almost literally perfect, the only edit I’d make is that the episodes should be longer!! Just can’t get enough of Bo, ZB, and Marissa <3

Best eagles podcast out there, my only wish is that the shows would be longer!

While I enjoy the podcast, they really could chop 15-30 minutes off most of the episodes. I like Bo, but you can’t tell me he wasn’t a bully in school. Also, can we stop with "flex" and the whole “is it Brian Kelly or Kelly Brian”? Let's retire those.

On the most recent pod, Bo said the iTunes reviews are no friend to him, and he is no friend to them. So I’d like to step in and say I support Bo. I am also insufferable to my close friends, have a growing bald spot, and would like to retire as soon as possible without dying the next day. Most importantly, I’m kind of always proven right. We have all these things in common. Long live the king.

Just wish it was longer

This is my favorite podcast, of any kind. The interpersonal dynamics between Bo, Zach, and Marissa are what makes it great! I often watch them live on YouTube, and when I don’t I’m excited to start my day by listening to “Birds with Friends.” By the way Zack, can you remind me where you went for your honeymoon? I was going to call my fantasy football team “Zach Berman’s Asian Honeymoon” but I decided not to because I didn’t think any of the other players would get it.

Came here because Zberm told Bo to read the iTunes reviews. Zberm wants to ruin the podcast. Not a Zberm hater. Have had the pleasure of him signing his book for me at a game. However, he wants to change everything that makes the podcast special. He doesn’t see what makes it special and he spits in the face of the podcasts most loyal supporters. It’s become annoying to hear him complain about the things that make the podcast great every episode. Self scout that!

Pods aren’t long enough. Also need less football content and more of Bo’s political opinions. Love you guys

I love this show. I remember how excited I was to see Bo and Sheil join the athletic and read Bo’s story about Chip Kelly’s first game, and how much more excited I was when I saw they were doing a podcast. At first I was skeptical of ZBerm’s fit into such a whimsical, inside-joke-based podcast, but he’s become one of my favorite parts of the show. Marissa also has brought so much the to table that makes the show more entertaining. The problem I have with the current iteration of the show is not that it’s too long—in fact I prefer it when my favorite pods go for over 90 minutes. It’s that Bo, who is hilarious, and an amazing host, needs someone like Sheil to bicker with him. Sheil is expert level at pushing back on Bo’s shenanigans, and the return fire doesn’t seem as biting. ZBerm unfortunately “takes the bait” from Bo and (fairly) gets defensive, and the pod just turns into two guys arguing because they’re not on the same page about what to take seriously about the topic at hand. The reason this bums me out is not the arguing itself—the only other pod I listen to that has this quality of interpersonal banter is Around the NFL—it’s that Zach so badly wants to give the audience his analysis of the team, and Bo usually doesn’t want to seriously talk about the team. This hurts because I have a lot of respect for Bo’s analysis and when they do lock in and talk ball, it’s easily the strongest Eagles pod around. (Philly Special is very good, but Solak is a bit of mismatch with Sheil, IMO). This a rambling way of saying that I love this pod and have no plans to stop watching and listening to it, but I’d enjoy it so much more if there was more of a focus on things other than for example: -jokes comparing Zach to Tony Dungy because he ate Chick-fil-a While I personally thought that was hilarious, the pay off of that joke was submerged for me by the way Zach didn’t appreciate the comparison. Either the jokes should just get zipped in, or they need to be taken less personally. Dealers choice I guess about whether Bo should tone the jokes down or Zach should take himself less seriously on the pod. But one or both of those changing is how I think the show improves.

At 56:12 in the final Superb Owl episode, ZBerm asks Bo, “What is officially a coward’s draw?” Bo: “3rd or 7 or longer.”

I'm taking Bo's advice from the 11/30 episode - If you don't like it, stop listening. I've been reluctant, because I tuned in from day one, and BwF has brought me so much joy over the years - but it's time. I am all in on Swooper. All in on bird puns. All in on song parodies. All in on The Ospreys. But I am out on adolescent antagonism and petty meanness, and Bo makes sure to cram both into every episode. I'm sad that my listening experience has gone from consistently delightful to frustrating and joyless, but I'm not punishing myself any further. I'm done.

Used to listen to this podcast all the time when Sheil was a co-host but stopped after he left. Gave it a listen again after the Eagles' Super Bowl loss and had to turn it off after 15-20 minutes or so. Can't stand Bo. In this episode he was so combative and constantly interrupted Zach. It really brings down the conversation. (Maybe he was in a bad mood because the Eagles lost or he was up late after the game? IDK) Podcast was good when it was a bigger group hosting, but now that it's just the 2 of them it's not enjoyable. The bird pun titles are as lame as always.

Unsubscribing - ever since Sheil left, it takes almost 15 minutes to actually hear something about football. It’s just become an ad farm.

“What was the soup of the day?” I love when Bo ruffles the feathers of the paragon of professionalism that is Zach Berman. I love it even more when noted comedy fan Zach gets in a brilliant cutting one-liner

Would be a great show if Bo could contain his political temper tantrums and withhold from taking religious jabs. Guess he’s only inclusive as long as people agree with him?

Enjoyed the back-and-forth on AJ Brown/Mike Quick and records. However, I don’t understand why Bo was quick to hold it against AJ Brown that he played in 17 games. He achieved the record on the first play of the game, so essentially it took 16 games’ worth of plays. Which got me to thinking…shouldn’t records be judged based on the number of plays/reps, not the number of games? I’d be interested who has played more snaps in their record-breaking season. Consistently fantastic podcast. Thank you, Bo, Zach, and Marissa!

The Damar Hamlin pod was so good. Marissa’s unique perspective as both a member of the media and family member of a player helped a fan like me start to process this thing. Let’s get Bo hydrated though, no wonder he’s always sick.

Long time listener, first time reviewer. Just wanted to shout out Bo’s washing machine jingling during the Henson Razor ad read. That guy has some seriously clean clothes.

BWF is best Eagles pod - bar none. I am shocked that Prof. Seleman is permitting stark, unabashed game (market) COLLUSION between Marisa and Zack to take down Bo’s lead in Swooper. C’mon Professor! Rules that permit collusion make for a bad game - and you know it. If Swooper were a market for Turkeys, the DOJ would investigate Marissa and Zack for collusion under the Sherman Act. You go Bo !

Egomaniac who was gifted a job in sports media because of his dad. Grow up and have some respect for your coworkers. Go listen to the Philly Special if you are looking for a good Eagles pod.

These guys consistently offer the best coverage and analysis of a team I’ve ever seen, but Zach trying to figure out whether or not Bo is joking is what I’m here for. Bo is probably the funniest working sports reporter. Sometimes I do feel bad for Zach when he’s ganged up on by Bo, Marissa and a UPenn economics professor who is somehow a regular contributor to the podcast.

Bo is great

Sheil always cracks me up. Plus their insight into the front office and team is unmatched. And Marissa is the glue that keeps it all together. edit: bo turned his obnoxiousness level up to 11 after sheil left and should probably reel it in by about 30% or so

The show was tolerable with Sheil, who with Zach was consistently informative and entertaining. Bo Wolf is mostly arrogant and annoying while not being as knowledgable. I can’t stand the stupid bird puns or “swooper soarcasting”, turkeys, and other idiotic games - I turn off the podcast when those come on.

I’ve listened to this pod and subscribed to the athletic since the very beginning in 2017. I once couldn’t wait for postgame pods. Now I reluctantly hit play and dread hearing what I’ve come to expect - Bo berating Zach and beating points no one cares about into the ground like a dead horse. It’s awkward. Like seeing a couple you love fight in public. Like Wentz pouting over Foles. Like Like mid-2000s Crossfire (and Bo ironically is playing the Tucker Carlson role). The show once had a voice to keep things on the rails and the pointless rambling, games with no analysis attached and bickering to a minimum, but he’s gone. I hope BWF can turn it around quickly because there is now a worthy alternative that reminds me of early-BWF - fun, light, all analysis, 3 minutes of off topic/games instead of 30, and hosts who like each other, and there are getting to be too few hours in the day to listen to this inevitable divorce linger on.

Zach has got the knack. Zack ain’t no quack. Zak’s got yer back. Zac dont take no flak. Zakk don’t need a tic or a tac, he need the whole pack. Thank you

Zach and Marissa are great but Bo is the Tucker Carlson of podcasts. I’ve listened on and off for a few years and have to take a hiatus now and again just because it gets old listing to Bo cry every episode.

I get it that Bo’s appeal is his snarkiness but he was downright rude and annoying after the Cowboys win- disappointed

The cardinals post game pod was definitely one of the lower quality pods of the season. But we’re here for the technical difficulties and Bo’s snarky comments from (what sounds like) afar-wouldn’t be bwf without it. Keep up the good work team, 5/5!

Quality listening every episode. I love the mix of deeper Eagles discussion, personal anecdotes and games. I can tell what time of day you’re recording by how flustered or not flustered Zach gets at Bo. Now that we’re at the quarter season mark, I’d love to get all your takes (Marissa’s too) on if the Eagles dodged a water gun blast by not getting more aggressive while pursuing Russell Wilson. Follow-up, why does he look so bad now?

It was far more honorable for Bo to bring up his Miles Sanders criticisms after a good Sanders game than a bad one. It shows that it is what he truly believes rather than potentially coming off as reactionary to a poor performance. (Also, Bo never said Miles was bad, just that he was middle-of-the-pack/replaceable and ZB took that as saying he stunk)
