Description

It's not easy keeping up with the news—especially when you're a parent. Mary Katharine Ham and Vic Matus know that well. And while they can't get your kids to school on time (and without ketchup in their hair—ask Mary Katharine about that one), they can break down the news you need to know. Put the kids to bed, pour yourself a drink, and join us twice a week for Getting Hammered.

this is for both Mary Catherine and Vic but more so for Vic. Datsun was changed from Nissan because of the post world war animous, towards anything that sounded was Japanese; So they change the name from Nissan to Datsun and then in the last 30 years or so they changed it back from Datsun to Nissan

I would argue kids really are disease vectors, it's just that covid is a bit of an exception.
