Brian and Connie discuss failing malls in post-industrial cities, Russian Dolls of Economic Doom, Applebee’s, and Rochester oddities.

They wonder if the USA should have 3,143 states, if Dick Cheney is technically alive or dead, and what the Pope has up his sleeves. Music: Floppy Disks by Shane Ivers – https://www.silvermansound.com
