Talking Dogs

from Dysfunctional Dialogue · host John McParland

This week, my former college roommate joins me, again, to unpack the glory and guilt of youthful stupidity. We talk about testing a friend’s head strength, derailing a football captain’s big moment, and nearly being escorted out of a Super 8 after creating what could have been described as a crime scene. Laughs were had. Regret followed. Wisdom came much later … or maybe will eventually.
