First world problems

We open with movies you keep thinking about.

John answers last week’s trivia about the smallest country and offers an architectural question.

We delve into admittedly first-world complaints this week. Tim’s are linked to recent travel experiences with his dog guide. John’s concerns include items like healthcare and “world-champion” Americans.

John has a double dose of whack-jobs this week, both from the Presidential address to Congress.

Tim’s hero of the week, Undo Medical Debt is a nonprofit that helps address the problem of medical debt with a novel strategy.
