Here's the story of a lovely lady... Give thanks as David Levy joins us this week for episode 1.08, “Caroline and the Balloon”! Before the parade passes by, we pre-heat the oven and stuff the proverbial unseasoned bird with our various theories of Richard’s sexuality, tales of the early morning thrills of balloon chasing, and the answer to the burning question, “who the heck are Mike and Maty?” Hey Hollywood, your pants are ringing…
This week's "plugs":
