It gets old.
Just kidding, Mike
I generally like Bill and Mike and I imagine doing a pod like this is a labor of love. Couple of thoughts though: Sound quality is so shoddy. Spend some money and get the right Mic and mixing software
They are both nice smart guys but lack a certain flair for story telling. It’s hard to say exactly WHAT it is but like a bass guitar, you notice when it’s not there.
