Dude,I’ve never really been bothered by this before, but can we please please please save the silly little corny jokes in the middle of a guest speaking. I promise you’re still the face of the podcast and we all still know you’re there and you’re funny. Just not when you cut off and derail the conversation for silly, not so funny comments.

Love how Alex immediately sensed the vibe of overtalking and shifted into 1.5x speak rate.

Me trying to decide if my love for Alex overcomes my hatred for Andrew enough to watch this 🤔
