Cigarettes, Tab and Tampons, Growing Up in Whiting, Indiana episodes

  • Cigarettes, Tab and Tampons - The Final Episode - Christmas in July or "They weren't bullshit rainbows"
    Here we are...ready to close out what has been a remarkable journey for us all - but mostly the three of us.
    We had a company meeting and came to the conclusion that this was as far as we felt we could go with this narrative. While we have loved doing this together as well as for all of our faithful listeners, we knew it was time to move on.
    What better way than to end with reflections on our amazing trip to Hawaii together! So this final episode will share some of that time with you but will also put a nice button on the stories we told about our beloved Whiting, Indiana.
    We hope you've enjoyed this time as much as we have. We thank you. We love you and look for us in another form on this platform down the road - because you know we have many more stories to share and we also don't know how to shut up - like ever.
    Aloha!
    Sally, Johnny and Shelley

Your favorite hosts are back with a crunchy discussion on July 4th of 2022 and how they are feeling about celebrating America with recent happenings within the country. It certainly doesn't stop them from enjoying some Cowboy Caviar and tortilla chips!
    We learn a lot this week about Johnny and Sally's love for encased meats - in case you weren't aware and that Johnny loves "a good roman candle (that's not a euphemism).
