And we've shoehorned in some "If We Ran it," some "Get Your Ass Back on Track," some "Why are you still in my life?," and a compelling traffic-rel...

Ep. 199: Leaptober 09.02.2024

It's been said by many that when C&C comes up with a great idea, the world takes notice and generational innovation usually follows. This episode is all that and a bag of chips.

Our penultimate take may be the best - a new proposal to fix the calendar, w...
