    The Final Episode

    Let me know your thoughts. Good or bad. I can take it. Most likely. It all started back in June of 2020 during the Covid lockdown, expecting maybe 10 episodes.  And here we are five years later, 170 episodes later and 3,400 minutes later.  Topics from churros to poltergeists to green bean casserole.  And a lot more.  But the time has come to hang up the headphones and turn off the mic.  Twenty Minutes You'll Never Get Back has come to an end.  The last episode offers some info about the show, about Doug, thanks to the listeners and a final question... why does it take so long to toast bread.  All in just twenty minutes.  Actually 24.  There were a lot of thanks.
