not sure if any of your listeners has mentioned this but when just one of you are talking more than 1 sentence at a time, they run into each other (1 sentence into the next) ever so slightly & as much as I was looking forward to listening, it really affects the quality of the story 😔
One at a time, please, without looking for affirmation........ .
For more than 8 minutes, you keep blathering on about the stupid European Football Championship 😴😴😴 really?
Too funny AND kind at the same time!!! I think y'all are funny!!! I also feel there is some great commentary within that British banter. Forgive my cheesey American response.
