In this episode, we spend some time with two old Eastern European ladies on a park bench, we listen in on some Valley Girls deciding their “couples’ Halloween costume,” and we meet Dr. Shawna, unlicensed sex therapist’s long-estranged sister Sherri. Everything is totally improvised and giggles were had.

THE LOST EPISODE
The original episode aired live on KWTF.net on October 14, 2014, but unfortunately, I did not record it properly, so it is lost forever. Instead, I share a nice little five minute monologue about me and Spilling Rubies and where we are all at these days, so take a listen!
