09/20/21 • 54 min

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
