The BBA Today #13 - Trivia and Trades!

Post by RonCo » Sun Apr 19, 2020 1:26 pm

Today I get to spend a bit of time with San Fernando Gm Randy Weigand. He gives me a little peak behind the curtains of the system he uses to develop his notorious trivia questions, and then we ruminate on the trade market of BBA's past, current, and future.

Maybe, somewhere in there, Randy explains how the Rolling Stones were right about not getting what you want.
