I find myself being terrified as the minutes roll on, fearing that something will fall apart - bizarre stress I’m not sure I’ve handled before…
It doesn’t work!!!
Always different and it can get really weird and funny. And some of these guests just shine. Lotta talent and lotsa variety. Interesting musicians from the underground. And Matt does weird stuff with the format. I love it. Oh and I’m always discovering new performers that are really funny etc new and old voices chop it up keep it fresh
Mmmmmmmmmmm...
Super funny, super consistent….been listening for a long time and I’ll be listening a while yet. Thanks Matt and Brett!
