Icebreaker: The $350,000 Car Dividing the Auto Industry (Ep. 51)

I've been sick for the past few weeks. When I'm sick I find I want to turn off my brain, meaning no news, books, podcasts, etc. But for some reason, I find watching videos about cars to be strangely relaxing. This is probably because I'm otherwise so removed from cars and the car industry. For me, it's like the equivalent of the Food Network or HGTV. In this podcast extra, I ask Eugene for his thoughts about the one car that appears to be dividing auto journalists and car enthusiasts more than any other. We also discuss why we both feel minivans are superior to SUVs and share a quick update on our weight loss and fitness goals. Next week, we'll be back with another full episode of the podcast. Thanks for listening!

Where are you from? (Ep. 131)

I (David) have always had a hard time answering this question. In part because I'm from a family of immigrants but also because we lived in so many places over my childhood. This is the second half of...
