Summary

In Episode 79: Anita Don't Play, Brian and Tony are joined by Anita, who was a bus driver back in the 1970s. Anita is now 89 years old, and she wanted to share the wild things she has seen while driving city buses! From stark naked riders to taking out fire hydrants, Anita will give you some laughs as she reminisces on a time that some would say was simpler, but Anita might object to that notion. Buckle up and get ready for a bus ride back in time!

We were so thankful to have been able to spend the time in conversation with Anita. Our prayers are with her family.
