Will Write for WineThe Pantsless PodcastWe discuss endings this week on Will Write for Wine, and it quickly degenerates into crude sexual innuendo. What can we say? We’ve been drinking. We cover when to get a PO Box, soul wine, and a few of the many reasons why Lani is going to hell. Also, Sam has a hot flash and Lani mocks her mercilessly. (See above, re: hell.)
