you know it's kind of funny how my lack of memory traction sometimes seems to work ..like right now for instance.. Now realizing that there're more than one "vocal doppelganger" for the amazing Chuck w Bryant I'm failing to remember the first one I noticed ...since it seems that I can add Joe McCormick to that list... LoL 🤣 and what's really funny to me on top of that is that I do believe that all of these people are on the same team by that I mean "in the same office building" per se. RofLmAo

To me the most annoying sound is when a theme song bleeds into the intro and is louder if not just as loud as the podcasters introducing themselves and setting up the episode. Nah I’m just kidding, I absolutely love this podcast;)
