What’s going on?

What is up with the random 1.5 or 2 times speed over the last couple of days? Cuts out and goes rapidly fast.

Can't stand Chops

Don't know what The Fan sees in Marc Finch. His cadence is terrible. His rants are just long run on sentences. He is not nearly as funny as he thinks he is. He just ruins the flow and the vibe. Beau and Eric would be fine without him. He was fine as a producer and you only heard him at the end of each hour. The chemistry with him as a co-host is just awful, seems like Beau doesn't even want to deal with him half the time. He's constantly cutting Beau off, asking him stupid questions, and making stupid points. He's also an Iowa fan in Columbus?? Get this guy outta here. Time to re-vamp the show. It's practically unlistenable when Beau isn't present on the show.
