By popular demand my buddy Ben Snure is back. We had a great conversation talking about the new efficiencies in his shop and how technological innovation will streamline his business. As a one man shop, pumping out a lot of forged hammers- everything matters. We had a long conversation about the hatred of breaking taps and why do people put tomatoes in salad. Like an episode of Cowboy Seinfeld. We had some technical issues and lost the last half where we did Weird news and I take full responsibility for being a fleabag, trust me nobody is more disappointed than me. But here’s what we’ll do- Ben’s coming back in 2 weeks and we’ll make up for it. A whole Weird News podcast stem to stern. Thanks again and I appreciate the support- GF
