## Resource

Unable to find a guest, fill-in host John Hastings flies solo and just rips one out for 51 straight minutes. He really brings out the specific resentments that only Canadians who lived in England for a while have, and then he combines that with the rage and shame that former Canadian young conservatives have. Then he has a go at the Kennedys. Honestly, I think the only person or people that come up who he doesn't have a grudge against is Willie Nelson. I listened to all of these at 1.5 speed before posting them and I think this one made me enter the Speed Force. Check out John's multitude is specials here Hosted on Acast.
