Episode 14: Diff'rent Strokes: Whatchu talkin bout Willis?!
In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and frequent guest Shavez, for what I think is going to be a light and laugh filled chat. Little did I know, Shavez would give his harrowing account of a serious and frightening ordeal that began last week Saturday morning. This topic was not planned ahead of time, nor did I have any knowledge of the situation before this episode. I heard this story for the first time as you're about to, in real time. This episode contains strong language and content that may be upsetting to some listeners.
