How in the HELL Did I Get Here?

It’s all about taking chances in this week’s episode. Our favorite call-in storyteller Tammy takes a big chance when she is 19 by moving from Chicago to Jacksonville, Florida where she knows no one and she takes a chance on a man who may or may not be an ax murderer in story number 3. In story number 2, Jenny doesn’t realize that she’s taking a chance with the machete until she finds herself in too deep.

Today’s stories are about two dogs who are no longer with us, but definitely live on in our hearts and in crazy stories! First, Jenny tells the story of her Sheltie, Fritz, who was one of the sweetest little dogs you would ever want to meet. The rest of the show is devoted to stories about my beagle, Bentley… if you’ve been listening to the show, you heard about him in the Drunk Dog episode.

If you have a crazy story for us about moms, kids or anything else, call 323-488-3303 and you might hear it on the air.

This week’s stories are all about life’s unexpected moments… those How in the Hell did I get here? Moments in time that we all experience every so often, or in our case, it seems like...daily. Our first story is actually an unsolved and hilarious mystery to this day. It happened to myself and Erin one summer night not too long ago. In our second story… you get to listen in as Kari and I have a conversation about weird things that have happened to us either trying to get to or get out of Mexico. Lastly, we hear from the lovely Tammy, back with another call-in story we’re calling Free Bird… about a time in her life when she was really influenced by the southern rock scene, even though she didn’t know that’s what was happening.

My friend Shanti loves to eat, so one day in 2006 when her college boyfriend invited her out for breakfast, she said yes, of course. Little did she know that would lead to being buried alive, eating spiders, having a soul-mate moment with a rat, swimming with snakes, and dealing with thousands of flying, hissing cockroaches. If you were a fan of a certain popular reality TV show hosted by a now Uber popular podcast host, you’re going to love the next two episodes featuring our very special guest, Shanti, also known as a finalist on Psycho Fear Factor 2006.
