Nicole Hyala and Chris Tsuper return to the podcast, but this time, as a tandem! Stan picks their brain on what's kept their on-air partnership so fresh and relevant after 19 years. He also asks them how they've continued to make this work and how they don't get tired of one another after all this time! It's a real look at their dynamic behind the mic--and when the ON-AIR sign is off--and it's all on deck!
