We count down the little and not-so-little things we hate waiting for, from flights to doctors to money.
Checking in from rainy Sweden, we’ve got a brand new episode of the 11 Points Countdown. Although the fact that I’m in Sweden and posting this episode that’s set in the same place as all the other episodes may be a tip off that this was taped a little while back. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
My guest this week is Danny Abrahms, a comic and the creator of the popular web series Self Help. We’re breaking down the results of my poll on the things you hate waiting for the most.
If you like the Countdown, please take a sec and subscribe. Thanks!
