  • Ralph is awesome!

    Here is the question: if you had to sit next to either Ralph or Martin on a six hour flight, who would you sit next to?

    Hint: Martin… slow down , talk less, and actually try to listen to what Ralph is saying.

  • Show is great!

    This show is great and very entertaining when on topic. However shorter podcasts with more focused topics are always better than running a timer to determine length of the show. My opinion there’s too much off topic discussion at times. Keep up the good work!
