- Book 16 - The Warning
Happy Holidays! We open on another listener email and Gianni gets his feelings hurt (all in good fun, though).

Plus, a quick sidebar on Gianni starting to watch Lost for the first time, new catchphrases you can use with your family, and Gianni reveals a new character he hates...maybe more than Jake?! Tune in to this week's episode and have a happy and safe holiday with the people you love in your life. We'll see you next year!!Contact and reach out at [email protected]

Along the way, they talk about Kacey's embarrassing mishap with a water slide, Jake's bizarre (but hilarious) line that should have been in The Reaction, and adding a fun scene to open the story of this book.Contact and reach out at [email protected]
