Spacemen, prepare to get controverted. Well, not really. In fact, I'm not even sure that's a word--or at least a word that can be used in this context. It didn't show up as misspelled, which seems to imply it's a word. Anyway, on today's show, we talk about 10 opinions from Mark Manson. To be honest, I don't find them that controversial, but I can see how they might be to some. I guess you'll have to listen in and see if you agree. And make sure you listen for our Tri-Tip at the end. It was almost a fork.
