“Shit-eating grin.” Classic.
I wonder which was worse, Lapland or Glasgow Willy's Chocolate Experience?
"Or as I like to call them, douchebags..." 😂
There’s been some new activity on their Instagram. In a turn of events, the account is acting as a tribute page to gain support for the fires (fyres) in Australia. An interesting take on a crisis that has global interests!
One of the best episodes ever!
I lived in England for 18 years and was kind of unnaturally happy that you covered the Lapland festival. I had not put "two and two" together but you were right - the Lapland was the warm-up act for Frye. It was a great episode.
So excited to hear you will be at the True Crime Festival! But, are you actually going to "reveal" yourself?!
I'm sending a body double ;)
OMG YES! Was obsessed with this in the news when it broke all over social media; great choice!!
Awesome! I love stuff like this.
YES!!! Right before a road trip #youdabest
Yussssssss! Just in time since I have to drive for hours tomorrow
