What is your current favorite TV Show, Podcast, or Book that you’d like to share with the world?

Better Call Saul is probably one of my all-time favorite shows. That’s a show that has a lot of mental meat and cheese to pull apart and really enjoy. And it’s long! I don’t really read, which I’d like to get into so I’m open to any suggestions

• What is something that people may not know about you?

Don’t really have a favorite, it all depends on how I’m feeling and if the wife is watching too.  Most of the time if it’s just me watching I watch the Food Network or I watch “Forged in Fire”
