In this episode, I’m joined by the chef and podcast host Patrick Scott Armstrong.

Patrick runs his own podcast ‘The Lone Star Plate’, where he aims to find the best food in all of Texas. He’s made almost 150 episodes and had some great guests on the show so it’s a privilege to have him here.

We talk about the difficulties of hosting a podcast and if there’s any such thing as too much free speech.

Next, we chat about the Royal family, American politics, gun laws, and much more…

“What is the point of having a royal family, it’s a monarchy, it’s like a dictatorship.”

“Once the most powerful man in the world has been demoted to a crazy uncle at the wedding reception.”

“What should we allow people online to say because of what the potential consequences are? What do you think about freedom of speech?”

“You start banning something and it becomes enticing, you want to know more about it and find out about it.”
