Another great podcast/video!
She cute
Truly is!
This one was a tough one for me to watch as it hit so close to home, but I'm so glad you had Cassie on the show. Everyone needs to hear these stories. Everyone needs to understand. We are the world.
Nice! I love the the challenge!
I loved this weeks podcast - I do like watching vs just listening. I really enjoyed your guest and he is so inspiring!
Some people hate watching! And that’s why we do both!
I remember when this happened. It made me so angry and made me hurt so much for Dionna. And that the court system poo-poohed the entire thing is infuriating! Great episode, guys!
@2:15 Tim Sutton is joining us on March 27th - check back then!!!
The was he is sitting makes it look like he is behind the couch looking over
This is so fascinating
Thats so true. I always wondered why I feel like napping after studying for a few hours
Her eyes when she realized that the burp was audible was hilarious xD
She surprised herself, but no one else was shook!
Another great episode! Thank you for sharing your story with us!
We are so glad Dionna likes her Modified Cutting Board! We hope it brings her many years of joy!
People who vote against their own best interest to have free Healthcare sometimes will say that keeping it privatizedis that it makes the service way better. But they dont even trust themselves enough to keep track of someone's skull enough to just store it somewhere else in ur body
Right? Dionna has a big nasty scar on my stomach now all because they were worried they would lose it.
