Thank you for telling the truth while making me laugh!!!
Funny and informative. Keep up the good work and please include as many versions of a Howard Nutlick’s name as possible
Hello Norm from SLP. Thanks for your words in the latest podcast. It gave substance/voice to not just the outrage we feel in MN about the deaths of Melissa and Mark Hortman — but the real sorrow. We are all “close by” — I am not alone in having relationships to residents of every single community that was targeted that night. And we all still do talk to our neighbors, including about politics — even this past week. But what sadness.
Thank you for telling it like it is. Priceless.
Thank you for telling the truth!
