Michael and Julian discuss:
- Planning Michael's Next US Vacation. As a UK citizen, Michael is not yet allowed to travel to the US. However, he is looking forward to when the rules change. We talk about a potential trip that includes train travel (yawn), Los Angeles, Texas, New Orleans, and a road trip to Florida
- Why are there no workers in the US or the UK? Both countries seem to have a dearth of workers at the current time, but for slightly different reasons. Julian and Michael explore these reasons
- Part 4 of a series on Education. With help from Daughter #1 and #2, Julian talks about High School cliques. Jocks, Nerds, Stoners, outcasts, etc. Do these cliques really exist or are they mainly the construct of Hollywood?
- Bloopers. Just one this week. We must be getting better at this podcast thing
