  • Episode #141 - Reformed Mean Girls, What does calling mean, and Tebow the Author
    In this episode of The Happy Rant podcast Ted, Barnabas, and Ronnie respond to some listener feedback and answer a couple pressing questions. Are we simply "mean girls, except reformed guys" as one disgruntled former listener said? Why do people feel compelled to announce their departure from a free source of entertainment? What does "calling mean" and why do people use it so frequently? Tim Tebow won an award . . . for being an author. So of course we ranted about it.
