After recording, editing, and uploading this episode we became aware that the "welcome to earf" meme from a misrepresentation of Will Smith's line in Independence Day is sometimes interpreted as a negative portrayal about the way black people speak. Our quoting in this episode is in no way an intentional meaning of that and we apologize if it comes across that way. We have nothing but love for Will Smith and his role in Independence Day.

This week's random topic is stories.

Meagan and Jeff talk about the power of stories and what makes a good love story.  Meagan throws shade at Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.  Jeff stakes his opinion on stories a little strong.
