Hurricane Melissa showed up like that uninvited cousin at the cookout — loud, messy, and knocking over everything in sight. And just when folks were trying to pick up the pieces, the government said, “Surprise! Foodstamps are on pause!”

In this episode, we’re laughing through the madness as we talk about how everybody coped: the creative meals, the neighborly teamwork, the “charging phones in the car like it’s 2006” era — all of it. If you survived Melissa AND a foodstamp delay, you deserve a trophy… or at least a good story. Pull up and let’s unpack the comedy inside the chaos.
