    Chelsea and Dan welcome their first WYWY guest, good friend and Philadelphia native Jim Adair. Jim's Philly roots go back centuries, so they had plenty of ancestral-related things to discuss. He also talked about the adjustment of moving to Delaware County (a place that Dan has a fascination with), grappling with a Catholic school education, and growing up with depression. Chelsea and Dan also realize they are talking to a three-time paper airplane flying champion.
