This episode was great and also Maz Jobrani is fabulous showman 🥰
This has to be my favorite episode of WWDTM in a long time. Maeve's story of celery is the best! Add to that the fun of a conservative talk radio producer coming on as a contestant and this will be an episode I won't forget anytime soon 😁
I appreciate the information and advice you have shared. https://www.dashboard-anywhere.org/
