  • Amazing music 1
    Love the show
    I’m an 12 year old and I watch this every day to get new news on my favorite team. Not biased and tells what actually happens.
  • NopoNiner
    Too much negativity
    I used to really enjoy this channel but lately it has become mostly about how dumb or evil the front office is. Every episode is a repeat of the last. Rob is endlessly negative and Vish and Levin just feed into it. The lone bright spots are Michelle on Fridays because she does push back a little and when they have a guest on, like Thor Nystrom, to just talk actual football. It’s great if you enjoy hating on the team or just like arguing to the air while hate listening.
  • Baerjamin
    Best SF 49ers Podcast
    Been a 49er fan since Joe Montana was drafted. Been an avid and religious listener to this Podcast (and Rob) since, well, before it was founded. Love love love all the content and all the hosts but will quickly admit that the best show has only happened once: Levin and Michelle! There is some amazing chemistry there and the anti-Rob interplay is next level! Love you guys…!
  • Nick4983
    Rob is the GOAT
    Watching Rob grow his own Podcast Network inspired me to start my own podcast (about movies, not 49ers) He has a great program and vision. Wish I could shadow him for a week to learn how he creates his success. For sure a part of it is he assembled a KILLER team and is not afraid to disagree and that creates great content. Hearing him give credit to Michelle for encouraging him to believe in himself shows you his integrity. Michelle thanks for busting his chops every Friday and calling him a baby when it’s calls for haha
  • Romi’s mom
    Best podcast
    My favorite podcast because Stats is not a biased host. Keep doing what you’re doing Rob. Respect the effort and the daily updates, even when sick💪🏻
  • KitFistio
    49er Family
    Thank you Rob for continuing to inform and entertain us with Niner news, insights, opinions and your tangents. The Gold Standard podcast network is a staple — between the hosts & listen comments it’s like having coffee every morning with Niner fans. Congrats “Stats” for having the foresight to provide listeners with such a strong group of varied voices. Especially the extremely witty Mimosa Michelle. She makes the end of the week even better with her banter. Never thought I could like a Stealers fan. But here we are. Love her. The human wet blanket is a perfect foil to fires Rob ignites). Keep up the great work.
  • C r i c K
    Most Consistent and Real Niners Coverage You Can Get
    I found the Gold Standard Podcast Network right around the 2021 draft and I haven’t stopped listening weekly since. I find the chemistry and themes of each show to be unique and entertaining, I am thrilled that they can see through Niners media corps boot-licking, and pose the real questions that real fans want to hear. Thank you for all you do to bring current and valuable coverage of my favorite NFL team nearly each day! Cheers to the whole team at the GSPN. I can’t wait to hear Rob’s roast! (But Rob is the man! My fav Niners host)
  • Niner Fan in Huntington Beach
    The best 49ers content creators
    Rob and his crew are amazing. Daily programming plus a wonderful little short in the morning to ensure the listeners are up-to-date. Enjoy the different perspectives of each co-host, but love Mimosa Michelle as she and Rob have won me some money with their best bets during the season! Cheers!
  • JoGa5
    Keeps me coming back.
    I started listening to Stats and crew in 2022. Like many people I get hooked on a podcast but inevitably move on after a year, not here. 3 years and counting. Every weekday is a new episode with different members and different perspectives so it keeps it fresh. Not everyone is on the same page so it keeps it real when trying to figure out what exactly is going wrong with the 49ers.
  • Macgarroni
    Perfect Ingredients
    All of the hosts are incredible on The Gold Standard: San Francisco 49ers Podcast Network, but my favorite duo is Rob and Michelle. They go together like mimosas and brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso.
  • ZPN810
    I just need closure
    Rob I know you don’t work with grant anymore but I just want the real reason why the both of you stopped working together? The two of you were entertaining together and maybe later this year you guys can talk it out and do a show or something. Thanks!
  • JMacNaughton
    Thanks 4 keep’n it real
    Rob, you’ve built a great team that provides a well rounded and balanced review of the 9ers that I’ve come to count on - a fun mix of experienced analysis and the fanatic. Keep it up and drink up Michelle.
  • Vinnie_Vee
    One Stop for All 49ers Content
    If you're a 49ers fan, this is your one-stop shop for all things related to the team! Rob and the crew deliver fantastic perspectives, blending a perfect mix of optimism, pessimism, neutrality, homerism, passionate rants, and insightful analysis. Whether it's daily updates, breaking news, drive-by-drive recaps, best bets, or fun banter, you'll get it all. They truly capture the rollercoaster ride of loving—and sometimes hating—the 49ers. Keep up the awesome work, Rob, Jason, Steph, Vish, Michelle, and even Levin! Can't recommend it enough for any die-hard Niners fan.

    Best 49ers Content
    If your a Niners fan, if your a podcast fan, then try out this podcast. You wont be disappointed. Rob is a professional host and he surrounds himself great talent. Even Levin is entertaining and has great takes despite him being “the were blanket”—think Dwight from The Office. Love this show, and you will too.
  • VanFan10192233
    Awesome 49ers content
    This is my favourite 49ers podcast. Stats does an awesome job and all his co hosts are fantastic. Keep us the unreal work!
  • MotoManiac68
    Best 49ers Content Available.
    I am a 49ers Fanatic. Can’t get enough of them year round. Rob and his crew are amazing at not only being entertaining, but being fair and pragmatic about the information being delivered. When you add in Levin , Aponte, Stef, Michelle and Bosh you also get great chemistry and different perspectives. Rob “Stats” Guerrero is a fantastic an knowledgeable host who is very likable. You also get 5 minute daily updates, shorts, as well as long form shows. I find myself checking the podcast channel multiple times per day.
  • Sportybecks
    Great podcast network
    I started listening to Rob’s daily 49ers in Five to get updates on the team and then found the other shows that are part of the network. I don’t live in the Bay Area anymore so The Gold Standard really keeps me in the loop with my team! I love the real and honest talk and fun banter with the different hosts on the shows. Keep it up!
  • RJNiner
    Best 49er show
    Love the tag team of rob and Levin. I look forward to the show every week. Their content is current and I appreciate how they don’t hide their opinions good or bad about the 49ers. They express how we feel. Also want to give a special shout out to Stats keep the content going your doing a great job with the show.
  • 49ers4ever2012
    Great podcast for 49er fans…
    Love this podcast ❤️. Rob is great and guests are very great. I listen to this podcast all the time. One thing to change… Make the poscast a little bit shorter, just a little bit. Thank you 🙏
  • Creaky Back
    Exceptional
    What a wonderful show. I had back surgery last year and listen to you throughout the week during the football season last year and this year as I did, my rehab. You guys got me through some very tough times. now I can walk and only be miserable about special teams :-) keep up the good work and you have a fan for life
  • Jcab125
    Main host just complain
    Everyone on here is great imo but the main host rob just complains all the times. I’d recommend Haberman or Locked on Network for your niner info.
  • wwechamps say no
    Five stars
    Stats needs to stop gloating over Stafford putting up less points than Brock and saying he is a top qb and can’t say pay Brock. It’s weird. Stafford played bad against the Seahawks needing overtime and a int td to score 26, or less than 20. Brock does it, don’t pay him. Rams have top offensive weapons, better line, and good coach. It’s apple to apples.
  • Migmetal
    Great show, and cool concept
    Mondays are excellent but Vish rambles from time to time and is good for 6 interruptions on Rob and 3 100%’s. Steph and Jason aren’t worth the time, they just vent about social media. Grant is interesting and has original ideas. Levin seems very logical and straightforward with his takes. Michelle is a rock star, great information and helps you win money.
  • BOHICA BISP
    Unfollow
    Rob you are negative. 1 star. Unfollow. Do better.
  • Thgfvjb
    Stats just stop arguing
    For you to spend 10 minutes arguing with Michelle about Aiyuk not putting his hand up is so beyond annoying and pathetic, just agree and move on I’m out on this stupid show plenty of other people out there with actual knowledge
  • muzikluvverr
    Ba will be back
    Stop planting seeds bro. We understand that you don’t like coach Kyle. But the amount of times he’s made a superbowl means he’s top 3 in the nfl. No one is perfect so he makes mistakes. Bottom line is if our players do their jobs correctly we’d have 3 rings. Jimmy overthrew esand… blocker misses a block and Brock gets a fluke elbow injury. Then glaw goes out and the backup can’t stop the crossing routes. That’s on the players. Not Kyle. Stop gaslighting and stop pushing your Kyle hatred on the fans. Bad podcasting imo
  • Anonymous Rex Rex
    Excellent podcast
    I needed something to fall back on when Better Rivals ended (RIP) and I really enjoy the variety of contributors brought together through this collaboration. But my greatest wish is that you bring back Oscar Aparicio regularly 🙏🙏🙏. His episode with Stats was exceptional! Also kudos to Michelle and Vish - my two favorite co-hosts! And even Levin is growing on me 😂. Shoutout to Steph (or should I say Bosa?). Stats’ intense passion and love for the team comes through with every word he speaks and every minute he gives to his brainchild. I’m grateful the faithful has a podcast like this to represent us.
  • LR2_02
    Chemistry
    I love the hosts’ chemistry. It’s clearly not forced like some other shows…looking at you locked on. Thank you!
  • Joe49ets
    So good!
    I’ve tried so many 49er podcast. Stats, Michelle, Levin, and Steph are the best. I never miss an episode.
  • jonnygrit707
    First time listener
    Lifetime Niner fan. It’s pretty good show except super annoying how the commentators are going on and on about now it’s really time for him to show up put Some numbers now the deals done with Brandon Aiyuk 1100 is just not enough He’s got a produce. Blah blah blah You know, regardless if it was Aiyuk or if it was the Niners for taking this long it’s a business and I’m just stoked The Niners were able to do it because 11 is a beast. And they’ve got to pay a lot of superstars on that team. Even if he has a game with a couple catches or no catches if you watch tape dude is knocking the helmets off cats blocking for whoever is catching or running he never gives up. And hes scrappy and always pissing defenses off. Monday night can’t wait I hope he lights up sauce Gardner. Time to lock in Trent and get the band back together.
  • Vicc310
    1 stop shop for the best Niners coverage!
    Been listening since they were a part of SB Nation and it’s simply the best coverage of the team. Stats, Michelle, Steph, Levin, Javier, and Vish give you every perspective. They give you their personal POV of the team and breakdowns of everything from team strategies, front office rumors, etc, and are willing to call out the team when they have to. My kind of fans!
  • OskiBob101
    Thank you Michelle
    Thanks to you for bringing up the CeeDee Lamb situation. It seems the big news is always Aiyuk but Lamb is needed more by Dallas than Aiyuk is by the Niners. How come they don’t get the hate and criticism the Niners do. After all Aiyuk is still under contract!
  • SF49ersguy
    Easily my favorite podcast!
    I’ve been a listener for over a year now, and this pod is always my first listen when I’m working. I enjoy all the co-hosts perspectives on any given topic as well as their unique personalities (especially Levin). You’re doing an amazing job, keep it up! Also please try a tamale, you’re missing out!
  • Motegi8
    49ers!
    Love the pod, my go to for 49ers info, rumors, and just a fun listen!
  • Kyle Soter
    Love the show
    Been listening for around two years now and I’ve loved the every day coverage. 49ers in 5 is my go to on the way to school and while at work I listen every day. Mondays with Vish is my favorite because of his in depth analysis and his football encyclopedia brain. Stats has progressively gotten more positive, Jason’s trash talk deserves 6 stars and Grant Cohns conspiracy theories are hilarious. Fridays with Michelle are kinda meh sometimes but still good and the brotherly love with Levin is awesome. Keep it up and I’m excited to hearing this on the show!
  • StevenGV
    Hot takes and cold truths
    Robert Statistics, it is great hearing from you and Levin “The Truth” Black and the gang to help the Faithful get through the week. Love Mimosa “The Convert” Michelle - she keeps our feet on the ground with an outsiders perspective, and we tolerate Cohn, too. Love the pod!
  • The Wrong McKoy
    Tommy Likey
    Thanks for the great content! I always enjoy Mondays episodes with Akash, and how he intellectualizes his takes on the Niners. He’s clearly the one on the team who has graduated college most recently. Wednesdays with Grant only gets listened to when the vibe is right. Sometimes I wonder if he’s a secret Rams fan sent to openly poison our minds. Thursdays with Levin always provides great content, and makes me nostalgic because it feels like I’m listening to Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore debate. Capping it off with a slightly inebriated Michelle on Fridays always gets me in the mood for a cold frosty beverage at the end of the day. Cheers and keep grinding!…oh, and Rob, watch out for that snake in your boot!

    Classic “fan” podcast where everyone is smarter than the people running a perennially successful franchise. This Javi guy…😂😂😂
  • Paul in HNL
    Go 49ers
    Gold Standard is my first go to and most often listened to podcast ! Thought It was cool Stats n Levin met in Vegas for the first time to cover 49 ers Super Bowl. I’m all about building in the trenches and doing everything you can to support Purdy! When Shanahan commits to this a Super Bowl victory will result. Until then niners will be second best.

    Best Niners Podcast!
    Rob and the crew give me something to look forward each and every day. Everyday is a different point of view which allows me to be a well rounded and informed fan. Keep up the great work and thank you Rob, Vish, Jason, Steph, Grant, Levin and Michelle. #BangBangNinerGang

    This is the best collection of 49ers content anywhere, hands-down. It’s informative, accurate, and entertaining to boot.

    Check-Out Season
    I’m a regular listener, however I invest too much energy and emotion during the season to the point where I have to check out completely during a large portion of the off-season, especially after yet another painful Super Bowl loss. It’s my process after experiencing so much heartbreak. I’m sorry that I won’t be listening for a while but I promise you all that I will be back! In the meantime, enjoy the well-deserved 5 stars! PS, individual reviews! Michelle is wonderful. More of her please. Get her on with the likes of Grant and maybe Stephen Ruiz, she needs to shut these dudes up. She should listen to you more though instead of ignoring you. I know it’s in good fun but I’m just Saiyan…stay humble! Rob, you’re great. As a regular listener, I will say that weeks you’re subbing in on a lot of the shows, you do tend to repeat yourself from previous shows. This isn’t meant to be a criticism, just wanted to point it out. Your voice carries this show in my opinion, you’ve got the pipes for the job! Grant is a douche. He wants to poke and prod people but then sit back and act like he is doing nothing of the sort. Good analysis, but I can’t stand him. Levin is a good foil for you Rob, but if he’s going to be leading interviews, he’s gonna need to inject a little more personality into it. The interview with Brees, an already kind of boring dude, was really flat. I think we can all use a little less of Aponte’s scolding. Steph is great. More of Steph please. She needs room to work! I feel like Jason dominates too much of their shows with his lecturing of the fan base. Vish is great. He does a solid job of staying grounded within his fanhood when he’s providing analysis. A lot of his thoughts come from outside the box and I appreciate that. He can probably tangent a little less though. Keep it movin Vish!
  • Ryan Pen 15
    Great show
    I love listening to your podcast. It is therapy when the Niners lose. I have lived in North Dakota all my life? I know Levin lived in ND for a few several years. I’m assuming you followed your wife to ND? If not, why move to ND? Too cold in winter and too many mosquitoes in the summer. Unlike other podcasters, each of you truly care about the Niners. Other team podcasts don’t have the passion each of you have for the Niners. Rob, do you ever sleep? As for the one thing to read and one thing to watch, I wish you would just tell us. I’m too lazy to go to the link to read and watch.
  • LTM247
    5 Stars with a Request
    5 Stars because I love Stats and want to support the impressive work he’s done since Niners Nation. I had a moment of euphoria after a recent Instant Reaction Show when Levin said “can I tell a quick story?” And Rob said “No! We’re talking about the game!” Would love to see more of that going forward. I like how Levin sees the game, and I appreciate his strong opinions and knowledge of 49ers history — but I want to hear more of it! I’ve found myself skipping through episodes to avoid the 300th Woody joke, story about his day job, or comment about his game-viewing experience. Let’s just hear about the game itself and Levin’s very informed analysis! Keep up the great work Stats and co!!
  • Niners all the way
    You’re My Favorite Deputy!
    I hope your podcast goes to infinity and beyond! Your coverage has everything a fan needs (including comedic relief from Levin). The variety of shows has something for all fans. Keep up the amazing work!
