DadChat: Operation Yuck Mouth Feb 02, 2024

Show notes

For this week's episode, Nate and Francis discuss the travails of having (or not having) dental insurance in America, how it's different in the United Kingdom, and why Nate is still dealing with the consequences of an unfortunate game of basketball in 2007. The conversation also somehow touches on the subject of P-1/P-2 visas for Afghans who helped the U.S. military. No one can claim we don't have range.
