- Can’t hear you, guys!
I love these guys and how they talk ball. I feel smarter whenever I listen to them! But whoever is in charge of sound and editing needs to increase the volume. I can barely hear them. I drive 30+ mins on the highway to and from work and I can only make out a portion of what they say unless I turn the volume all the way up. Of course the ads I can hear fine because they’re so freaking loud.

Super poor production
