Can a sandwich really make or break your day? We think so! Join us as we share our guilty pleasures in the world of subs (yes, sandwiches). As our chat shifts gears, Brian delights us with a creative fusion of Tove Lo's "Heroes" and Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me," perfect for those high-energy moments on the dance floor.
