Compensation https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun18_Post.mp3 A recent study found that during economic downturns, dudes tend to hit the gym more aggressively. This makes sense.

An Educated Man https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun16_Post.mp3 One of my favorite movies is Tombstone. And one of my favorite scenes is the scene in the casino.
