Barely Making ItEpisode 25 with Our Good Pal, Jon GardinerJon has been a guest on Barely Making It, possibly in every form it has taken and now he's on the podcast. Our conversations were all over the place, like always. On this episode we talked about Thanksgiving sides, the traditional vs experimental food, leftovers, Bill & Ted, Meghan does not look like a douche with her sunglasses on inside, compliments from strangers and the classic PSA "It's 10 o'clock, do you know where your children are?". This might be the least doomsday sounding episode we have ever done. Enjoy the moment.
