  • Banned topics :)

    Banned topics are my favorite episodes- it’s a brilliant idea. I am getting more excited by each banned topic - because football analogies for baseball, stadium daydreams, and contract griping are all terrible! Thrilled you are editing your conversation topics- but it’s fun to complain about them 1 last time. I love this. Well done :)
