Can we be thankful about something when there is nobody to be thankful to. That and more...
Brian and I discuss in this episode why we have such fear of giving feedback to others. We also get into a really good argument about the house.
In this episode my daughter Finn and I talked about her coming out experience as queer and we also talk about what made her a homo. Was it TicToc, Instagram, YouTube, or was it Satan? HaHaHaHaHa

We recorded this Friday evening March 5th, just before heading out to dinner for Brian's 51st birthday. I don't think we ever landed on a topic for more than a few minutes.
Here is the link for that song that Brian believes was only ever play on Radio Nova. I played it in the car on the way to dinner, and Bridgette though it terrible. Brian still loves it.
