Show Description

Salute to the popcorn in our lives [27:40] A new wallet - shaping itself to your bottom. Going through the stuff from the old wallet to switch to the new one. Old phone numbers written on small pieces of paper. "A walking around waste basket" Shep dials some of the numbers he could not remember what for.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
