So, what’s with the lisping on Podcasts now
First, it was Preet, and l thought maybe he had a front tooth pulled
Then Rick Wilson sounded like he lost the same front tooth, except on the Lincoln Square Substack videos, the lisp is missing
Now Greg Olear has the same lisp/missing front tooth hmmm 🤨
Does Podcasting ruin your teeth, or is the microphone audio messed up ?!?
Always interesting guests and Greg Olear is a wonderful interviewer. Great questions, well prepared. One of my favourite pods.
Please consider having Sarah Kendzior on your podcast and the Five 8. Pretty please.

Best song yet!
“Should I Stay Or Should I Flee” is genius! Well done, sir.
Olear has great guests and great analysis on his own part, not to mention hilarious satirical commercials. So why only 3 stars? His utter and dripping disdain for anyone younger than himself any time Millennials, Gen Z, etc. come up. Seriously Greg, use your BetterHelp you advertise and get to the bottom of why you can’t mention anyone under 50 without taking snide shots at them.
In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.
