This daily create was very odd. I did not expect to be graded on how I would insult a celebrity actor on the internet, but that’s what happened today. I made fun of William H.

I think they are more like podcast ideas. There’s one idea that I’ve actually considered doing in the near future with some buddies of mine. It would be a Hemp based podcast, but also just that industry in general. Another Idea I have is a technology-based radio show.
