Nothing better than watching a " Clark Stinks Marathon " on a foggy rainy day. Kudos to Christa!

[MikeSellersGA]

The difference between Target and Walmart is, Target doesn’t depress me after shopping there.

[TheLifetraveler]

The post master general needs to be fired. Since his presence the whole system has gone to crap.

[sarashann]

Clark, thank you for giving a shout out to our US Post Office workers. Have to tell you that at the peak of the total solar eclipse in my Texas town, who rolls up? My neighborhood's USPO delivery person!

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"

Add total solar eclipse to the list!

The postal service is a valued federal service.

Side note: Completely agree with you on the Medicare "dis"Advantage plans. People are being sold a bill of goods!

[devisubramaniam]

Thank you Clark and Christa! Always great on the Stinks Day.

[SlayarGamer]

I love the 2 times Clark stinks! I learn so much from the nuanced views and deeper understanding that viewers bring.

[Instkarma]

People who are solo/single can’t shop at Costco regularly because we don’t have the space to store that volume of products! We solo have to go to places like Target where the consumption of products to buy is more manageable.

[jeffb.]

What a great team you two are. Love listening to you guys!

[charlessommers]

You guys are the best and you guys don't stink 😊

[GunnyPhillips]

I can't believe a guy as smart and informed as Clark suggests a one size fits all approach to Social Security, determined only by a person's ability to work longer or otherwise subsidize their income. Life expectancy is the bigger issue, which is exactly how the yearly amounts are determined by the SSA.

[JohnShawOhio]

I love Clark, I don't know how he does DOUBLE stinks sessions! 😮 How about a love Clark and staff session featuring new advice and website improvements . 💕 Life is too short to get too stinky, even for Clark. 😊

[valeriefitzgerald]

We need a new congress! They have done absolutely nothing this session.

[daveassanowicz]

It's very refreshing to see people open to criticism

[DeborahNitasaka]

Clark & Christa, Our family has benefited greatly from the wisdom imparted on the show. With endless gratitude, Debbie in Calif.

[brunochambre]

If I send a letter to North Hollywood from Burbank it takes 5 days. Yet I can walk there in 45 minutes

[L.A.---]

Clark and Christa, I have to thank Shannon for the follow-up comment about the previous ‘US government Taking 401(K)s’ question. I was also confused about the information initially, but I appreciate that you took the time to respond to Shannon’s comment. Thanks for the clariification (whew!). You’re both great!

[MW-greatteacher]

What about Georgia State Health Benefit Medicare Adavantage Plans? Teachers have access to these via BCBS and UHC.

[CoderTerry]

Clark, I saw you on a video for Habitat for humanity (Channel 2 ATL I think), you had a white T-shirt on and I did a double take!! You looked so good in that white shirt!! Was that shirt given to you???? 😅

USPS should just be sold off/privatized so someone who actually knows what they are doing can run it. Just sell it to FedEx and get it overwith. Anytime I have something being delivered by FedEx or UPS it arrives on time exactly when the tracking says it will. When I order something with Amazon, it arrives on time or they give me money back. If it's coming with the USPS...it gets lost in the mail, 2-3 days late with consistency if even that, or it sits at the post office for 2 weeks before they even get it out for delivery. I've started avoiding any retailer or company that ships with USPS because I know the package will never arrive on time and the deliveries aren't reliable. Last time I ordered something that came USPS it took them almost 6 days just to create the shipping label and the package sat at the regional office for almost a week.

Hoping that the Clarkie of the Week will always be put at the end of the show so that I can turn it off so I won’t have to hear it😟
