If you have a copy of “What it Takes“ “This Will Not Pass” and “This Town“ this is your weekly treat.
Did you watch the Anthony Bourdain episode on plastic stools in Hanoi with Obama? Put your headphones on and grab a frozen appetizer from Trader Joe’s, preferably related to the week’s politician in his hometown hole in the wall🤓 enjoy!
