If you are the daughter or the son of Shaline or Brett Johnson, you must stop listening

to this episode immediately.

Listening to this episode could induce vomiting, seizures, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

episode now.

like not that they ever listened to my show unless they're on it, but frankly, if there's

any relatives listening, just pick another episode for the love.

Alright, now that we've cleared that up, let's get to it, ladies and gentlemen.

under the rug.
