Lee Stamps said the feeling is mutual.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s a natural progression for us; we already sit next to each other, buy each other coffee and laugh over Facebook
\nmemes,\u201d Stampsy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cJosh will be the nerd-burger yin to my clumsy yang. I\u2019ll talk cocktails while he explains Nintendo\u2019s latest release.<\/p>\n
Just hope the studio soundproofng\u00a0 can withstand our laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
James Speed, K rock\u2019s content director, said Olek is the perfect\u00a0 \u201cJosh will be stepping into what is
\nalready a very well-run drive product,\u201d Speed said.<\/p>\n
