We listen and we judge. Though this time, we're not judging songs. In this episode, Amber and Zach read back some quotes by our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and a couple of passages from his books, primarily judging rhetoric and meaning. These are reacted to in real time, resulting in authentic conversation where we acknowledge we don't have all the information. So, grab a cup of something deep and casually judge with us! If we need correcting, join in on the conversation and comment below!
