Sorry for the delay between episodes, but Chris had to bolt out of Nashville last night before the winter storm OF THE CENTURY... and things were quite busy during the days prior...
That said, we delivered on this one! Hope it was worth the wait! Not only do we give a shout-out to Nashville's incredible music scene, but we hit the topics that affect us all... and we do it with GUSTO:
TikTok - why the heck is it still in the USA?
Netflix - boy, do they know us well! And they prove it again and again! That includes Matt Damon and Ben Affleck too!
China - YES, there are problems there. And what gives with Canada nowadays? Carney's mancrush on Xi is a bit too much!
And, we round it out with how amazingly well Chris knows Jen... and vice versa!
We are PLATE & PONDER! Please follow, download, listen, and review. Til next time.... Survive the storm and LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST!
