CR with the “actually smoking is good” is the best episode this show will ever have. Shut it down. CR Heads 4 EVER
This is a great pod, my only gripe is there’s not enough episodes.
Here’s my hot take: it should be legally required to put how some one died on their tombstone.
Bring me on so I can make my case @mattunsworth insta.
One more thing, Girl Scout cookies are trash.
Tyler Parker is the King of the Hot Take.
I love the cut-to-the-chase, free-form forecast. Wish I had a funny but also kinda true hot take to make about this podcast, but nope. I’ll keep listening to hopefully learn the fine art of hot bakery.
Great quick listen
