This episode was wonderful! I hadn’t read this story in 50 years. Very good!
This podcast is fine - some of the stories are interesting, but there are definitely some better podcasts with a similar concept out there. Lately every episode is a boring filler episode or a “flashback episode”. Can’t we find some new content? We don’t want to hear the same stories over and over.
I’m exactly like you described with notifications, contacts and TJ Maxx. Thks for sharing
Scott, you don’t want drama on an airplane. My Son-In-law was on a flight & reached into his briefcase when his hand landed on the Glock he always carries. He had forgotten to remove it before flying & had gone through TSA with it. He was terrified of being discovered with a gun on the flight. It ended uneventfully, but one never knows what’s really on an airplane. Just say No to drama! Love you & Meredith and both your shows.
White American midwestern people are amazed that bad stuff happens. Present it for your pleasure. Tie it up in a pretty bow. Gotta vomit now.
