Jeff, Jared, and Brian catch up and get back on track.

Wenger talks to Ray Diaz, the only Raider fan he can abide, about California, artistic compunction, Basik559 and the Rebel Talk Network.

Wenger and Grimm talk about parking lot altercations with jerks - people are crazy, getting crazier, and you don't know who's packing. They express concern about attitudes toward social distancing and end up talking a little about John Frankenheimer's "Seven Days in May", a movie from 1964 about dissatisfaction with the US President leading to coup d'etat plans.

Wenger and Grimm deal with projects around the house, Nazis, listener feedback (at which time they just won't budge on chocolate milk or Bobby Goldsboro), the accelerated timeline, stupid things to say to women in line and, at some point, Nazis again. This is a very good podcast. Reach out to Managing Expectations at pac100media@gmail.com

Wenger and Grimm talk about the way the world's changed, the hope of small business, being naked with old men in a classical sense, and riding the stock market from $200 to $240 and change. It's a very good podcast.
