  • Russ

    Love the shows but had a thought/feedback. We hear the window guy, Russ, promos but instead of Dan reading them why not bring in Russ! Would set the ads apart and less likely to fast forward.

  • Only listening for Cody

    Unfortunately, Cody has been paired with Bernstein and Matt, who have grating personalities. Those two seem more interested in making their point than having a back and forth conversation. I’d rather listen to Cody solo than this trio.
