  • Laughing so hard I scare my dog

    I’ve been an EHG listener since mark one of the podcast, and I never thought I could laugh more than I do listening to those chuckleheads❤️. Throw Pam into the mix and I am regularly startling my dog with my laughter while doing chores, if not scaring my dog AND neighbors when out on walks. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to… Listen To Sassy!
