    Welcome back to the Have Fun Club w/ Nick Bradley. Formerly, and affectionately, known as The 2nd String Pod. For the first time in over a year I am back here. Kinda getting bored of the sports stuff and this time of the year absolutely blows cheeks for it, so I figured it was time to dust this puppy off and get back to making jokes about important things. Like the asshole who legalized car towing companies. Anyways, more important stuff to come. Enjoy.

    After moving I've had to deal with the lack of a few things that I certainly took for granted in my time living at home. Cars and well wrapped burritos. The power to not have to Uber every time you leave the house is a level of liberation I cannot wait to feel again. As well as the unsung heroes behind the counters of fast casual Mexican food establishments who spend their days ensuring each and every burrito out the door is wrapped to the highest level of burrito security.
