Welcome to the podcast that teaches you. There's no shame in a game.

If your family will never know about the snacks that don't survive the journey home from the supermarket, I don't understand that sentence.

Then you are one of us. I am Joe. Hello and with me is Victoria. Hi. I'm

producer Paul. Hi. You never go the supermarket, do you? So, this is not really for you.
