  • Slowly but surely

    Damn near every episode Taylor Swift being brought up is getting exhausting. Chris went from breaking down plays to gossip soon as the co host changed over.

  • Lip Smacking

    I really love their show, but Cris has developed this really annoying habit of smacking his lips before he starts speaking and you’ve got a break this this is a podcast man. It’s an audio thing. We gotta stop doing that. It’s really nasty.
