  • The intellect of Brandon Johnson and the Courage of James Comey

    I discovered This Dum Week recently and listen to every episode. Listening to the 2+ hour long episodes as I walk around a Lubbock Parks and Recreation maintained site that is named “The Gary Ward Basin”. This podcast is kind of like that when what you were hoping for is a nice lake to walk by but instead it’s a dry basin where junior high kids make out an pit bulls try to kill each other on a nightly basis.
