Hey, this is Sam.

This is John.

Your OG, OK Storytime podcast host.

And we got some great stories coming up.

Before that, we have a quick two-minute break from the sponsors that keep the show a lot. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. I encourage my wife to explore non-monogamy, and it ruined my marriage. Oh, man. She explored it too much. Who would have thunk?

Nothing to complete. my marriage. Oh man, she explored it too much. Who would have thunk? So I 30 male am in an eight

spread her wings and fly why are you trying to cocoon herself she's She's going to fly away. Let her fly. She's going to fly away. In any direction, including away. So, the only thing I
