KFI a.m. 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

We're on from 1 until 4. Then after 4 o'clock, you miss stuff.

Well, we give you this second opportunity. It's John Cobalt show on demand.

It's the podcast version. It's the same as the radio show just goes more quickly.
