Half an Episode - 88 Pt 1

5/3/2024
Ugh, Flender and mostly I could probably take a lesson or two with editing. But, hell, listen to our lack of care and preferred transparency. In this one, Flender and I talk Babe Ruth, the TV show Unlocked, presidential debates, and the need to publicly "coming out". I think that's all that was in this one and the rest is in the other but who knows. Regardless, it's good stuff and we encourage you to give us a listen.
