    I love the idea that you have your Dad, sister, and cousins.

    I found your show by accident and I’m glad I did.

    The Big Kahuna is great because he’s smarter than he leads us to believe.

    I’m a Buffalo Bills fan and still listen to you all.

    We Buffalonians have thick skins.

    God bless and have a drink for me as I don’t drink.
