I've been a fan of Rob from Rob Words for a long time, and now I've been introduced to the intelligent, interesting, and funny Jess Zafarris. I don't miss a single episode. These two have a great chemistry and do a great job playing off each other. The show is interesting, funny, and if you're not careful - you might just learn something!
