About this Episode
We're back after a brief hiatus and get in to the COVID-19 issues: masks, Victoria's lockdown, the hydroxychloroquine debate, and Big Brother spying on us to make sure we don't get too close. We also discuss the explosion in the port of Beirut and American mob stories. Simon then introduces us to Scott, who he became friends with through a common love of the music of Bruce Springsteen. Scott has written an inspiring book, "Head Strong: How a Broken Neck Strengthened My Spirit", about his amazing life story so far.
