Bad Philosophy

I don’t normally use this forum to review products, but I’m making an exception based on a tweet by Gordon McAlpin (@gmcalpin.)

I’m sure many of y’all are wondering anxiously where our latest episode is. Believe me, we’d love to bring it to you, but recently we’ve been having some serious issues with our web host.

Numero Uno fanboy Jediah Cummins joined us for his first appearance alongside Matt Legler (and LO, the universe did NOT explode!).
