Hello, it's Thursday, February 6th, and I've got a great guest for you joining us today,

who came highly recommended from our friend Carlo in Canada, looking for someone to talk to about Canadian culture and traditions and politics.

And Carlo suggested maybe the perfect person. Today's guest is Dean Blundell. He's a former

radio guy, broadcaster, commentator, media guy, and we really hit it off. I got to say this is

one of the better conversations I've had with someone I didn't know at all in a real long time

and maybe one of the best conversations I've had in a while.

I learned a lot from Dean.

We got personal.

It got real.

And it was really enlightening to hear his perspective on things.

So I hope that you like this conversation because it's the whole show today.

It was about an hour long conversation,

but yesterday I just had to punch out of the news and I had a couple of things that I had to do,

which included getting away. I got out in the woods with my friend Dr. Zatz, which is always a really

important Wednesday tradition. We go almost every Wednesday into the woods with our dogs. I

highly recommend you do it. And you should do it with Dr. Satz because he's the best.

So if he's available, you should try to find him and invite him out there. And then I got

an impromptu invitation from my daughter to hang out and did that. We went outside,

played lacrosse because she's getting ready for tryouts again.

And so it really made it hard for me to get my work done. But I was also happy not to do it.

There's just too much news. I worked all day in between that. But I just couldn't get the news

segment done and everything else because it was exhausting yesterday. There was a lot going on.
