Abe finally returns from vacation (again) and Meredith couldn't be happier...we'll go with that!

[2:03:20] Podcast update reminder - Starting September 11th, we will have a weekly release. The podcast is breaking up into two segments and will alternate weekly - interview only episodes will begin September 11th and will release every other week, while the bantering, shout outs, and extra features (Did You Know, Ask the Experts, etc) will begin on September 18th and will release every other week.

[2:04:50] Soapgate continues!

[2:08:56] Did You Know!

Abe is running away from Meredith again for a couple of weeks, so, once again, this episode was recorded well in advance of the release date (so much for having to work for a year before getting vacation). As such, there are no shoutouts in this episode, however, we do have a Did You Know and an Experts segment, in addition to an interview with a great guest! Also, big podcast news at the end of the episode we think will be a positive change.

We kick off the episode with Meredith and Abe chatting about movies and Meredith explains what Mr. Pibb is to Abe.

[1:13:54] Podcast news

It looks like the UK came to their senses and kicked Abe out of the country, so we're back to a regular episode (we can't believe they let him in to begin with)!

Meredith and Abe talk about Abe's European vacation and how he almost fell out of the sky before even getting there! We also discuss Meredith's kleptomaniac tendencies (sorry, Laura), and after the interview segment, her irrational fear of undercover officers.

In this episode, we speak with Callum Sutherland about Echelon, fitness, a recent MS diagnosis, and....axe murderers??? Caution: this episode contains more laughter than usual!
