Good clean fun

It's pretty simple- Sam and Gabe have a blast so you end up having a blast listening. They are really funny and even insightful at times, but most importantly, they seem genuinely kind- like if you stumbled into the studio they would be super gracious and maybe even invite you to grab a mic and share your own thoughts. Keep it up, friends!
