I Forrest Gumped my way into this show.

The variety of subjects and guests are amazing. I’m pretty sure he has said something to piss off every sector of spectrum. Having more Chuck is way better than the beginning when all we had was Mike. I love the use of music. If I could carry a tune in a bucket I would go find a Barbershop Quartet. Keep it up.

Phoebe is here ,

Always!

I listen to every show and always love the interviews, interactions and learning! Chuck… always a favorite… Mike, always entertaining! Thanks for what you do!
