Episode notes

Back from a short break with refreshed brains Derk and Charles are coming at you with a grab bag of Counter Sense. Ever called something ironic? Ever wondered why old timey names always seem so strange? Do you struggle with doors? Then ask your doctor about a prescription for twice monthly Counter Sense. It’s sure to fix all your whacky nonsense with knowledge!

Side effects may include, mental pain caused by bad puns, irritable noise syndrome, light chuckling, light tension in the zygomaticus major, and severe to moderate second hand embarrassment.
