CIB kicks off the last month of 2022—and perhaps (who can say, but the Lord?) a nonagenarian ex-president’s life—with some thoughts on getting old (opposed), the Dutch (opposed), the GOP, LeBron, DeShaun Watson, SCOTUS, and Our Bogus Future (opposed, opposed, opposed, opposed, and resigned). Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
