- Hot Scoop Alert
I don’t mean to be morose, but my father passed away this week, and I can’t help but do some reflecting. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been listening to these two crook blokes for over 10 years (?!). This is by far my favorite podcast, and I sincerely hope that you never stop making it.
