In this episode, we have a conversation about some of our different views on alcohol. We also talk about issues surrounding alcohol that we do agree on. Wyatt and I had a further conversation about this after the microphones came off, and we aren’t confident we represented our own respective best thoughts and approach during this part of the conversation. That being said, we stand by the point of the podcast being to consider things, and the promise of both guests on the show is to be as conscientious as possible. At the same time, we all know we aren’t always right and we invite our listeners to have their own conversations about what they hear. The main point is, if that part upset you, our bad and we both keep trying to get better at this!
