dont want this game

Even when I disagree with them or think that they don’t understand what they are talking about (Covid 19 molecular biology and medicine) I enjoy listening to them for their intelligence, wit, and intellectual honesty.

One of my favorite parts of listening is the very engaging and enriching chemistry between the commentators on a regular basis that gives it a feel of joining old friends on a daily basis for a fantastic parlor experience. Keep it up!
