    Well, we did it now.

  15. PMBT Ep. 10 - Interrogating My Mom

    I needed a way to stretch out my birthday attention so here are 23 questions for 23 years! I sat down with my mom (and dad) to make her answer 23 questions about life and learned information about my parents that I will have to deal with in therapy later.

    Well, things have already gone south for me but I had it coming. I'm joined today by one of my longtime friends and we talk all about our ridiculous injuries and how we got them, past... and present (I broke my ankle in the dumbest way possible just listen for the whole story okay).
