Driving Score?

Well, duh! I have USAA auto insurance and they offer up to a 30% discount if I let their app monitor my driving. It’s a bit weird but I don’t take it personally when the app claims I had a “harsh braking” episode. So far, getting about a 20% discount — not bad for an old guy.

Minnesota Assist for McDaniel’s Number

I am a political staffer in the great (and crazy) state of Minnesota. I’m working on building walk books while listening to today’s episode. I always enjoy the hilarious commentary and the reminder that the red wave doesn’t happen if we don’t do it.
Today one of the 5 stars was trying to slide into Smug’s DMs, so my request is this…
Can I get an assist from Holmes for a fellow Minnesotan to set me up with McDaniel’s number?
From Minnesota, keeping the faith, holding the line, and owning the libs.
