Summary

On Episode #140, Jethro and Lindsay marvel that they’re recording another episode. And, oh, the stories they tell! Lindsay starts us off with a woman who had many things to do before New Year’s Eve – including texting her drug dealer for some fentanyl. Only one hitch in that plan – she didn’t quite text the right person. Hilarity and handcuffs ensue! Then Jethro shares a story of a robbery gone awry in Yorkshire in the U.K. It involves a retired construction worker who just wanted some clean clothes. But when a youthful criminal decided to rob the laundromat, our retired hero had other plans. It involves wet pants. (But truth be told, what good stories don’t?) Onward into the Shallow End!

0:46.8	I think somebody perhaps in charge at the network is lying to us. Well, I agree with you because to have reached 140 episodes would require several things that you and I don't have.
0:55.5	Number one, a stictuitive attitude.
0:58.7	Right.
1:00.3	Talent.
1:01.4	Well, yeah.
1:02.2	Coming up with, that would be 280 stories between the two of us.
1:07.1	Consistency, which is something I know you and I both lack in spades.
1:11.8	Right. And a true desire for storytelling.
1:14.4	Neither of us have that.
1:16.4	No, no.
1:17.4	You left out sheer determination though.
1:19.5	Shear determination.
1:20.6	This fifth thing.
1:21.1	I always forget the determination.
1:22.6	Well, I'm determined not to.
1:25.1	That's my New Year's resolution for this year.
