    In our 40th episode, we learn that Mitch was wronged by a Carny at a vulnerable age, Wayne sticks both of his size 12EEE's in his mouth then does a "graceful" back-pedal, and we find out what happens on the Alons farm when Ezra has a BB gun and is not ready to go inside! Just remember, if any of this offends you we're sorry (that you feel that way). Remember, you can help the cause by Venmo: @dbapod

    Come one and all as we hear a tale of Aaron's cattle mismanagement that got an entire South Dakota town buzzing, we talk about the first day of school and how far we've come (well, physically anyway), and finally, Mitch challenges Wayne to what could be the slowest footrace of all time! Also, we are trying something new on the pod! We are forgoing sponsorship on this episode to allow you, our faithful listeners a chance to contribute to the cause!
