Do you listen to our podcast? Well, you totally should be!
Each show we do a segment called 5 Hit Combo, where two of us bring a top 5 list on a particular topic, then debate our choices while the 3rd person judges. The winner goes on to battle again the next show and the loser takes a turn as judge. Play along while you listen! Below are the results of previous shows though honestly not put up in a expedient manner. Sorry.
