  • Great but one thing…

    I love these guys and the info they provide! The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because the audio between the two hosts is so different. Matt’s volume is great, but every time Ryan talks I have to turn the volume up just to hear him. I also noticed they drop off the audio at the end of sentences to the point I don’t know what is said. But overall I highly recommend!
