While Andy continues his hunt for our one Chinese listener, Kelly continues to fill his seat with witty banter. The Michaels continue to look for the best of our listeners’ tags, and our listeners wonder, what have our hosts gotten themselves into. With a major Technotronic section this week, we have an exciting, exciting show. So tag, rate, and subscribe with a big cup of your favorite beverage, and enjoy the show.
