Carrie is the level headed one here. Bringing a kid into this world without a financial safety net is insane.
Another great show. Appreciate the great info as always. Would be nice if Kai didn't talk over his co-host as often. LET HER TALK MAN! Just a little suggestion for how to keep improving the show. Cheers!
Just eat vegan. Problem solved.
If everyone would drive electric cars and install solar panels the way Elon Musk wants everyone to do, this would go a long way towards the US's energy independence. ☺️
What state is Kai traveling in where he thinks the rest stops are gross? NJ, CT, MA & PA all have rest stops with clean bathrooms except immediately after a collection of buses - and someone is usually cleaning.
