On a scorching summer day in 1986, Javier and Shannan first met on a junior high campus in Southern California. Shannan had short, permed hair and braces and even wore slippers to school, while Javier sported an epic mullet and mustache and was clad in a trenchcoat. They have been on quite a journey since then, and they will unpack it all for you in this episode on how we met.
