  • Because

    Jesus, how many times does Coco say “because” in a show. Gotta be a hundred. Insane nobody has told him to make an effort to at least limit it. Because is a space filler 85% of the time and isn’t necessary, BECAUSE I said so. I’ll deal with AK after we fix Coco.

    Carlo and AK do a great job! Could be interesting for the dynamic if they added a third member. Still a great show though as is!
