I'm appreciative of your efforts
Scott and Dale, on "Holy Water in a Squirt Gun" you wondered about your fans. I just love listening to you two banter on while doing my Saturday morning errands. After all these years, I'm still very appreciative of your efforts. Each of you bring such unique elements, Scott, a little more cerebral, and Dale, that laugh is so infectious (in a non-corona good way).
Love it
Funny and dry, always makes me laugh. Funny takes on pop culture
