  • Fun show

    Hey guys, the show is super enjoyable. Dig the insight and trivia (Russo Bros./Raj and DK etc…) I’ll be back for more episodes.

    While the casual banter is part of the charm, it would be great if either is allowed equal time to talk. It’s frustrating when Akhil is interrupted before completing his thought.
