Group Chat
by Chris "Drama" Pfaff, Dee Murthy & Anand Murthy
This is a show where friends – hilarious, opinionated friends who happen to be successful entrepreneurs, investors & operators – comment on all things business, culture, current events and whatever the hell else they want to talk about. From Kanye to Kavanaugh, IPOs to DUIs, no topic is off-limits…as long as hosts Chris "Drama" Pfaff, Dee Murthy and Anand Murthy have something to say about it. In a world of fake news, poor judgment, and overall bad decision-making, we're here to give you the facts…or at least, the facts as we see them. @drama @deemurthy @anandmurthy
