Brian's parents

It's no secret that Papa Codes loves him some Fox News.  Every once in a while he'll see something on his favorite news channel and want to discuss it with me which is totally fine.  I have no issues with either of my parents from a political standpoint.  They are, however, diametrically (and passionately) opposed to one another when it comes to the subject.  So Pops calls me up on Sunday to discu

The ongoing political saga between Mama and Papa Codes and continues. The latest voicemail from my mom was to enlighten me about the latest heated argument they got into when simply getting a prescription filled at CVS proving once again that everything, and I mean everything, can spawn a war of words!
