    Met him. He moved to My area and wanted a rental and I had some. He is an arrogant man wanted extras. Needless to say the job he had as medical director ended because of fraud. He was nuts

  • Right to the Point

    TCR is great when you’re not in the mood to listen to hour-long podcasts. Chris & Amy are succinct, yet still accurate when retelling the events. They have unique styles of storytelling. I quite enjoy both of their methods.
