We were stumped on a topic this week, so we took to our hotline inbox and OOOOOOO did y’all cook! Because alliteration scratches our brain, we figured we should combine 2 great listener questions - one on Linda WWE’s ongoing email beef with Harvard, and one on the Hollywood tariffs that Trump imposed (but then moonwalked RIGHT back). Alas, “Harvard & Hollywood” was born and… damn, we had more to say on this than we thought!!!! We get into the patterns of written (typed) TRUMP SPEAK, Hollywood’s apparent FAST death, and MUCH MORE. Anyhow, please do continue to text or voicemail us with your any epi topic requests (or K*nty Kwestions)! We’re so grateful for y’all… almost as grateful as we are for the National Parks Conservation Association. Support ‘em here: https://www.npca.org/.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
