We give updates on the podcast and our upcoming guest, Attorney General Skrmetti.

 

John threw us a curveball with last week’s trivia and he offers another baseball question.

 

John and Tim share their lists of who they would love to chat with on the podcast from history to the present day. John also shares suggestions from people he surveyed and we give quick takes.

 

The list spans from Lady Gaga to Bill Clinton and Homer (the poet not Simpson) to Gandhi

 

Tim’s whack-job, Delta Airlines, is using AI to figure out just how much you’re willing to pay for a ticket.

 

John’s hero, Stephen Colbert, spoke up for what he believes in and had laughs in the process.
