Probably the most beautiful, eloquent podcast yet. Gavin’s way of incorporating humor and a need to not be so serious while also beautifully honoring his mother is exceptional.
Gavin is amazing!

Grumpy. I woke up from a nap and I was very grumpy. Ever happen to you? I guess that I needed more ZzZzz. So there's only one solution: get 'Because News' on STAT and start laughing. Always works. Pass it on. -- ❤️ yo nana
