58. I have a super strict no talk radio policy in my car.

Oct 2020

I won't listen to NPR or any AM stations in my car because I already have anger issues, talk radio would further piss me off. So it's basically music or nothing. I used to listen to the morning drive time LA guys here (Kevin & Bean) because they were at least funny and they never had any heated political discussion. But since they got canceled due to the shithead virus, all I listen to anymore is music or nothing.
