Jere heads to Ecuador…
Show Notes
- “I just wanted to make sure the hosts of this wonderful cast know that I feel that Jere is more than moderately entertaining. I would find him extremely entertaining if he would just PLAY THE SPOONS!!! C’MON Jere! Also, if the co-host on the 21st is that mime-guy, I’m only going to listen to half of the show. Thanks again for all of the wonderful shows, Denny“
