    177: My Dad Just Died

    In this episode, Shelly's dad dies. Not literally on the show (that would have been super-weird) but just a few days before this episode was recorded. Plus, Shelly and guest co-host Kirsten get extremely sidetracked with a conversation about karaoke. Also, you will learn about Shelly's brother's magical priesthood ability to "release" dead people from their bodies. I'm not kidding. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
