SANTA CLARA, CA – As I asked Christian Fauria for a little bit of time Wednesday afternoon on Radio Row, he immediately said sure, but give him two seconds.

Just steps from the Pat McAfee Show set on Radio Row, dozens of content creators, journalists and fans lined up to shake hands, ask questions or just shoot the shit with Pat McAfee.
