Summary

This week on Breaking Bread we sit in on a date between girlfriend & boyfriend, Leanne Morgan and Tom Papa. They talk all things romance: night sweats, pontoon boats, and men who are “tiny in their pants.” Leanne doesn’t have much time for her boyfriend between touring, writing her book “What in the World?!” and starring in the new Amazon Prime film, “You’re Cordially Invited.” In her free time, Leanne films her upcoming Netflix show with Chuck Lorre, and somehow still manages to have imposter syndrome. Enjoy!
