This week I invited a guest co-host on the show who instead of bringing the level of intelligence up, as I had hoped, killed it in the most painful manner he could think of. He wants to go by “Yeti”, and even brought along his “Crazy Ivan” Personality. Thats the bad good news, the bad news is that he plans to come back next week. So next week I will get him to tell us a little about himself and why he sounds a little like an anti.
This week we kick the show off with the usual listener response, including a response to a listener who asked me to look into comments made on another podcast. I also suggested that a listener check out Jack Spirko’s Survival Podcast. Following that we talked about the news, then we discussed why just carrying a gun won’t make you safer, then we talk about Delaware’s gun laws and finally give the episode a merciful death at the end.
