Episode notes

There's this funny picture of it's a couple of pictures of the two most recent. There's iPhones, iPads, smartphones, and there is like this one elderly woman, tiny lady, only one in the photo just grinning from ear to ear. It makes me wonder for myself, how many times has there been something amazing happening six feet away from me? And I was on my phone and I didn't even notice it happening.Yeah, absolutely. Have you seen Frank Camaro's? I think I think I pronounced this last name as either Camaro or Chameiro. Did you see his tiny pony article? Yeah, totally. It's the same idea.
