    This info came from angry social acts that don’t like the idea of Taylor marrying him. This error was identified over a year ago as an accounting error and was corrected at the time. Next time research!

  • Love the show but

    Dawn and Mike are great! Bradley please practice the first rule of improv—“yes, and”! No need to shut Dawn’s comments/jokes down all the time. She encourages yours when they aren’t funny.
