“The conversations are intimate, in-depth and far-reaching, with the levity and humor Dave’s fans know and love. Field segments will bring Dave to locations far and wide, expressing his curiosity and desire to dig deeper on a specific topic related to the iconic guest featured in the episode.”

You really have to find the right forum (if you’re not a bot…) – another Trump comment about an article that has nothing to do with him. You seem a wee bit lost.
OH great! We have to listen to this blow hard some more!
You don’t have to listen to anything. The people who want to can watch it, the people who aren’t interested can watch something else, or nothing at all. That’s the beauty of the streaming entertainment age.
No one is forcing you to listed to anything you sad, sad little creature.
Excellent! Thanks for the news. I’ll be watching this had no idea. ?
I am so glad I am not part of the Netflix social engineering experiment.
