Episode Three

He's Not My Boi!

Honestly, boys and girls, this thing is evolving nicely into two old friends talking about the world we all share.

We talked about the connection between Ron DeSantis's rhetoric and governance decisions and the Jacksonville mass shooting.

We argue over which garbage human is my boy, or his. Neither of us wants Ronnie, or Vivek, or really, any GOP politician.

We discussed an ugly human being shooting (allegedly) another ugly human being out of the sky.

And a whole lot more. This was good not-so-clean fun!
