  • I’ll pass after Saudi visit

    Was enjoying this and then Chris debased and undermined the entire show by going to Saudi Arabia. No thanks.

    I enjoy listening to these two Eastcoasters. They are both hilarious and such a great duo. It’s a great escapism, but at the same time a great way to feel connected.
