Other People's Stories

Episode 005 (Season 1, Episode 5)

Airplane Food, Kansas Weiners, and Scary Ride

Season 1 comes to a wrap! (Yes we know it was only five episodes, but we are very, very, very, busy people.) We’ve worked harder on this season of “Other People’s Stories” than any other season ever! So we’re ready for well-deserved R&R!

However, before we go, we’d like to share “tried and true” information about how to jump from a moving car, how to eat that same car, and how raise a pet that sounds like something you eat. Then, to round it out and to keep you on the seat of your car…seat until next season, we end it all with a cliffhanger! (It was Megan.)

Thanks for joining us for the not-very-lengthy, but very golendrinaish, (it will make sense after listening), Season1. We hope to see you for Season 2! (Assuming the lazy, good for nothing, “talent” come back and do another season.) Enjoy!
