Random Schmuck

There is a lot of craziness in this world and I’m just some random schmuck with a big mouth and a podcast to talk about all of it. Topics can range from arts to science to politics and education. Whatever is grating my cheese, shucking my oysters, sharpens my pencil on any given day, I’ll be here to mouth off about it. But what do I know, I’m just some random schmuck.

A declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot. And it's something very special to our country." Obviously that dumb motherfucker
