  • The real ones

    Logan is ok but he gets way too excited and cuts raja off all the time and his questions are too long. He is so long winded but cuts everyone else off. It’s like dude, raja knows what he’s talking about please let him finish his statement before you interrupt him. I wish you would use raja and Howard more
