(Not like I am eligible to win or anything) But was there a trivia question in this week’s podcast? Did I miss it?
AND, I am very glad that I was listening to this on my MP3 player, because I think the little ones (TK0.5 & friends) would really be disturbed by the “smash” segment. Just remember: Its earier to break off an engagement than to go through a divorce.
I saw the video yesterday, and I have to say that I hope it’s not real. As Kathy posted, it was disturbing.
And as always, keep up the great work guys!
I also didn’t hear any question. But I got to say I think the “smash” video is a fake. Who would destroy a $1200 figure and then post it for everyone to see? There would be no way for her to deny it.
Hmmm….I think our Ep19 trivia question was lost on the cutting room floor! We could tell you to listen to the show again and again, but that would just be cruel. Sorry, we’ll pick it back up next episode. Big #20!
