Dynamic Dude Duo

Something about these two just makes me smile, and running into Ed at IAD would be like a (super, super niche) celebrity sighting. Ed and Richard have a delightful dynamic; they provide practical wisdom; and there is NO PUSHING CARDS or constant stream of advertisements. Just helpful info, delivered in a wryly amusing tones. A , gentlemen.

Suggestion

Love the content but find myself fast forwarding through the dialogue at the beginning to get to the content faster. My suggestion is to spend more time on the core content. Thanks! Keep up the good work.

Could do without their opinions on what unionized workers should and shouldn't be doing to reach fair contract settlements.
