This week, Brad and Steve talk about some of the things that they actually don’t agree on. There’s not a lot but they did manage to come up with something: Diversity Equity and Inclusion, also known as DEI, and college admissions. The guys talk about their experiences with their respective children’s admissions processes and find that while there are some things they do agree on, in the end, they have different attitudes and approaches to this issue. Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Ramadan Kareem, and Happy listening!
