Great guests and hosts that on their best day do a good job but too often Guy and Gary interrupt too often, try to be funny too hard (they’re not basically funny) and the noise gets in the way of conversation…..The Stewart Copeland episode is painful….

Very enjoyable. I’m fine with guy’s interjections, he’s excited to be speaking with the guests. It is meant to be a conversation, rather than a speech.
