Question:
First thing’s first: your podcast, setup and crew are incroyable.
Vraiment magnifique.
Next, your city is quite fun, even if it is a little flat. Your border
services security are friendlier here than they are near Canada.
Finally, in 45 seconds or less (because time limits are fun eh?)
describe to us what a perfect (or near perfect) birthday would be for
each of you.
Au revoir mes amis!
(And as a bonus, beans with real maple syrup are delicious eh?)
