    Love the reboot, everyone is meshing well. But the last 2 episodes, Cons’s audio has been so low, compared to everyone else

    This show is nothing now without Chaps and Kate….the new hosts are just annoying with no real depth in the discussions. Stop using the ZBT feed to promote this different show
