Read excerpt
This week the guys wade into the wild self-contained world of narcissists, our experiences from the outside, and the warning signs - including the very obvious, direct, deadpan warning. OTM also chats about things far more illusory, like UAPs (formerly UFOs), a reasonably structured tax rate, and Medicare for All. Plus, find out why we still use the slur gay...NOT! Green flags, how we have the memories of various small pets, and as ever, joys. Items discussed: Facebook - Outsi
