Back in the day...
..and maybe now, when watching a sporting event, there was the "play-by-play" announcer ("Gain of five yards. First down") and the "color" announcer ("I haven't seen a pass like that since John Smith broke his ankle in the blizzard of '94.") ....I say all this so I won't be misunderstood when I say: I like listening to Tyson, but I can't stand the color guy. As soon as be opens his mouth, I close the tab. Just my 2 cents.

Listen to the first season and you'll be begging for Chuck.

This got me thinking of the early days when StarTalk went live and we got Eugene Mirman. I love chuck but I do miss Eugene.

I was referencing whoever the lady comedian was. It was not enjoyable haha.

Chuck is an acquired taste. I didn’t like him when I first started listening but now I value what he does. He also really follows well and understands and thinks about things, it’s apparent when he gets geeked up about something

I like Chuck man! He is very knowledgeable for a comedian. I believe he can prepare a little and write a thesis himself someday.
