Welcome to my new Series "Can you talk real quick?" This is a short, efficiently produced conversation with someone who knows stuff about things that are happening and who will let me record a quick chat to help us all better understand an issue in the news or our lives as well as connect with each other around something that might be unfolding in real time. 

Today is the perfect guest for that because he has gone ultra viral on this Father's day 2023. You can WATCH our interview on my YouTube Channel
