    Great Community and Insight
    When I started listening to this show on the regular during the pandemic. There are a lot of boring Cubs pod casts out there. This is not one of them. The shows Star Danny Rockett lives one mile north of Wrigley Field. So you don’t only just hear stats and team talk but a first hand knowledge about what is happening in the Wrigley area on a weekly basis. Rockett’s cohosts also add colorful insight. Crawly is a Cubs season ticket holder and passionate Cubs collector. Crawly adds great insight into the hobby side of Cub's collecting weather it be collecting bobble heads or autographs. Crawly has been a voice for the fans and gives insight from a season ticket holder perspective. Michael Cotton is a passionate Cubs fan. He thinks the DH should be in both leagues and is on a personal crusade until it happens. This show is much more than a podcast. It’s a caring community that stretches all social media platforms and in person events. One doesn’t feel like a listener but part of a family.

    I downloaded the Apple Podcast App to write this review.
    Long time listener here and I couldn’t imagine my Cubs fandom without Son Ranto! And the best part are the host act the same way in real life, they have built a community of degenerates with hearts of gold, and the show is more fun to listen as the Cubs wheels fall off. So crack open a cold one and after a few listens joins us at the left field well in Wrigley. SBUCGO!!!

    Are you a true Cubs fan? Not if you don't listen to this.
    I stumbled across this NSFW gem of a podcast after meeting the brilliant Danny Rockett at a Cubs camp out in western IL. The show summarizes what it has been like to be a Cubs fan for 30+ years. Much ranting, foul language, yet I enjoy this podcast and the people I've met because of it. You'll probably need to use headphones f you have kids, but I love the non-Pollyanna views of The Cubs and their fans. The actual shows are three friends having a conversation, and eventually they get around to talking about baseball and the Cubs. I'm old enough to be their father, but if my kids ever did a podcast, I'd want it to be like this. Give it a listen - you'll be hooked. Recent update: with the addition of Crawly, the show has gained serious baseball stats cred, and Michael has stepped up his already strong game with great analysis and epic rants. A strength of the show is how they interact with their fans for comedy gold via Facebook and Twitter. Danny continues to be a creative genius that makes even slow baseball news weeks entertaining as well. Soon to be the longest running Cubs podcast of all time.

    One of a kind
    This is not your average Cubs baseball podcast- and that’s a good thing. Great Cubs baseball talk with hilarious commentary. Definitely not safe to listen to with kids around.

    Cardinals
    Cardinals flatline Son Ranto show. Take that payroll and enjoy third this offseason.

    Lovable Loonies
    These dudes are great. Listening to them talk about baseball and rip on one another reminds me of sitting around with my buddies talking Cubs.

    Will change your life
    Maybe not, but you'll pee just a little in your pants. Hilarious cats running this show will deepen your love for cubbies. Well done, Danny Rockett.
  • CGFlan23
    Great pod
    Funny & informative. Insightful analysis on our Cubbies and always saying what we are all feeling. And nothing is funnier than the KOJI translation!!! If you love the Cubs, and like to laugh, put this pod on and BUCKLE UP!! EEEEEMOJI!!!

    Best Podcast EVVVVVAAAAA
    Title says it all, but if you need extra convincing ... well best podcast for us Cubs ranters. Thank you Danny and company.
  • Rob-n-Florida
    Great podcast.
    This is an excellent & funny podcast. 3 great Cubs fans talking about the Cubs. This podcast, & the Ivy Envy podcast, will keep you informed & laughing about the Cubs win, lose or draw (& the Cubs did draw once in 2016, as well as about 10 times in 2017 spring training).
  • SonRanto
    Fantastic Cubs Analysis
    Danny knows his stuff. Parody songs provide a different touch of excitement. Danny owes me like 73 beers at this point though.... pay up next game!!!
  • Mrcub63
    Go Cubs Go!!

  • cubfanfish
    hilarious cubs takes
    great listen for cubs fans...that know how to joke around. awesome rants, worst case scenarios, and other very adult-rated cubs news
  • Jfish1219
    Great cubs podcast
    This show is absolutely amazing to listen to. It is freaking hilarious and informative at the same time.
  • Kevdav123456789
    Gotta love these know-somethings!
    I listen to every episode and am never disappointed...If you're looking for a Cubs podcast, this one and Ivy Envy are the two to subscribe. Son Ranto has great audio quality, not one of those annoyingly quiet shows. There is plenty of joking around. Danny plays some pretty sweet cubbie remakes to songs. Just watch out for Lyle's hatred!

    They Keep it Real
    It took me a couple of episodes to get into this one, I gotta admit. Not a lot of stats and a good amount of unrelated chit chat. The technical difficulties are pretty bad sometimes too. All that being said, this is the podcast I most look forward to- whether the Cubs just got swept or they took the Cards to the cleaners. These guys are real baseball fans- through and through. No topic is taboo and no player is off limits from being made fun of by this crew. I love the Secrets of Wrigley, Johnny Rocket's affinity for backup catchers and the disdain for St. Louis all around. No other sports podcast adds original songs to their show either, so check this show out and keep coming back because you'll find out that these guys are just a bunch of bleacher bums- which is kickass in my book.

    Great podcast

    Best Podcast Ever
    Listen to this podcast if you are a Cubs fan. You'll laugh until you piss your pants. You will be sitting in piss soaked pants, but at least you will have had a good time and you will feel more knowledgable about the Chicago Cubs.
  • Isthistaken????
    A must listen for any Cubs fan
    If you are a fan of the Cubs this is a must listen. While there are other Cubs podcasts out there this one is unique as in its a more laid back show with a more adult tone. I found this show after hearing about it on the Ivy Envy podcast and listen to both of them weekly.
  • Kerfeww
    Awesome
    This is a great podcast, super funny but still informative
  • Wraith Fear 33
    Cubs talk and funny
    If you love the Cubs it is for you. These diehards will keeps you informed and laughing. But theirs more the music is awesome also. The opening theme gets you fired up and fun the rest of the way. It would be the Anthony Rizzo of podcast.

    KNOW NOTHINGS ...BRUTAL
    I am a long time Ivy Envy guy and when Corey gave thiis a recomendation I thought I would give it a play...I listened to one episode and found it not the least bit funny or informative but I gave it a second lesten and when they started talking about why Salt and Pepper and Starbucks were closong and that we all should go out and support them I was done. Did they not know that everything on that block 7-11 Starbucks, Goose Island and Salt and Pepper were being replaced. Diod they not notice that Bar Louis and even the comedy meca IO have been closed for all of 2015. There is NEW construction going on that block... first it was going to be a Hyatt then it evolved into a retail/condo complex.. These guys offer ZERO Cubs knowledge and are clueless. Don't waste your time ..I won't be back EVER.
  • Blondewonk
    One of my absolute favorite podcasts
    I've never listened to a single episode of The Son Ranto show without actually laughing out loud at least half a dozen times. One of my favorite podcasts that I look forward to every week. If you're a Cubs fan, you'll definitely enjoy it. If you're not a Cubs fan, there's still a 57% chance you'll enjoy it. Thank you guys so much for the great work you've done with this show, I'm looking forward to more laughs and more beer in the years to come!
