Wear Your Floatie, Or Mine Won't Work
August 2, 2022
On this episode of Common Sense Soapbox, Bubble Man and the crew go for a swim off a fine Florida beach. Bubble Man decides to wear his floaties — for his own safety, and others — but quickly becomes panicked when no one else does. Bubble Man makes an impassioned plea for mandatory floaty-wearing, and Seamus argues why that might not be a good idea.
