Summary
Comedain Jon Reep (Jon Reep's Prom 2: The Redo, Ginger Beard Man) was just a small boy when his father trusted him and his brother to hold a garden house outside of a swimming pool, so he could fix a leak at the bottom of the pool, while wearing a backpack full of rocks, to keep him under. Go ahead and read that again if you need to. Listen to the outcome in this wild story about growing up in the South.
