Oh, yeah, I've had people say they want me to get at least two good Charles C.W. Cook rants out of you.

You know, with a mollycoddle in each one or something, or it's equivalent.

I'll try and find some word that marks me out.

Ask not what your country can do for you.

Ask what you can do for your country mr gorbachev tear down this wall

it's the ricochet podcast steve heyward sitting in the host chair today joined by a recovered charles c w cook

so let's have ourselves a podcast and um, you know, it's not like I

agree with everything the administration does. So it's like there's, I mean, I agree with much

of what the administration does, but we have differences of opinion. So then I'm, I'm a little stuck

in a bind where I'm like, well, I don't want to,

you know, speak out against the administration, but I don't want to, I also don't want to take

responsibility for everything the administration is doing. Welcome everybody to the Rikoshae podcast,

number 744. It's Steve Hayward sitting in for James Lylex today, who is cavorting

somewhere over in the wilds of Italy. I am in the North Atlantic where it is snowing at the moment.

I'm so far north, but I'm pleased that we are joined by the fast recovering Charles C.W. Cook,

who has been down with the bubonic plague or something like that.

Charles, how are you feeling? And what have you been going through the last couple of weeks?

Oh, man. I don't quite know what it is. I thought it was strep, because I work up with a horrendous

razor blade-esque sore throat. And then it wasn't strep because that went away

pretty quickly but all these other symptoms came along and now i have what is really a glorified cold

and that's the best part thus far of my journey i feel like i'm on the exit ramp aha well sounds like

i'm about to put to see when the sound of that horn blowing in the background. I don't know if you heard that or not.
