The cool ride home
I really enjoy listening to this podcast.
Kind of entertaining
It’s a little tough to listen to the banter of the two hosts.
Meh…
The original version of the show was pretty good. The new one should probably be titled “Two Idiots Read Words They Barely Understand.”
My favorite example is in the March 21st when one of the host questions why the British colonies in America during the 18th century were buying tea from the English and Dutch. “Didn’t they have the ability to manufacture it locally?”
Weep for the future.
