  • Sorry guys, time to quit

    It is a shame but I will be unsubscribing now. I get that things have fallen apart because the STR thing didn’t work, but the opening discussion about whether 100 guys could kill a gorilla I found completely bizarre and unfunny, and not what I would choose to listen to. Such a shame, you are a great pair of guys but somehow you have lost your way.
