The "drop in" music after the "dead" cold start- there are terms for these things I'm sure- but when his music comes on as I know it will week after week, underscoring what is usually something just completely surprising, never ever gets tired. Ever.

Every single week I watch this show, admittedly entertained. And every single week my wife and I look at each other and ask: "Why does Chuck hate Axe so much?"
