"You make me sad." (CIB #235)

Plenty of fun to be had this week yapping about all the stupid stuff happening in the world, even if we are a couple of days behind the news at this point. Also, a new study says phone are actually BETTER for your kids’ mental health, and Mark Strassmann goes to the midwest in search of some sad sisters to lay a nasty pun upon. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here.
