You and your "sometimes-friend" are always good together. I think your new show is a gem. Jon's little guy just made it all the more entertaining. You have the chops to do a solo show, so Jon's absences were fine.

I hope you get back to your fictional writing someday soon, BB. Perhaps a screenplay for a fantastic movie? In the meantime, if the "ghosts in the machine" were smart, they'd be contacting you right now for possible narratives...just sayin'.

BB, you’re doing a great thing with your new show! I love it and especially like the different cohosts each week. It’s an excellent concept only you could do. We were all sad to see “Defected” end, but you’ve replaced it with an awesome show! Thank you and you finally hosting a show was worth the wait! God Bless you, fren!❤️🙏

After rebels seized control and ousted President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, pallets of cash were found in government buildings across Damascus.

Each pallet was labeled with a QR code, which, when scanned, revealed an unexpected link to none other than the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

It makes you wonder who is funding this overthrow.

BB! Love the show - Love the format. And NO, you are not "too verbose". These are serious times and we need serious journalists. Because I can't help myself, :) , a nice add would be to answer maybe 2 or 3 write-in questions on any narrative related topics you covered in the current week.

Great show. I am fortunate I have a job I can work and listen at the same time.

If you liked Network, you should look into a 70s TV show called Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman It was a satirical soap opera that lampooned America, Consumerism, Celebrity, TV talk shows, and how they all influenced each other. Towards the end of the series, Mary Hartman winds up on a real talk show that was popular at the time and is asked about how all of these subjects affect her family and the character ends up having very real looking nervous breakdown, to a point where you can't tell if it's part of the show, or the actress herself is losing her mind on a real show. It's quite breathtaking as far as the acting is concerned...
