Welcome to call your girlfriend a podcast for long distance messages everywhere. I'm Ann Friedman and I'm I'm

I'm not too so and every other week will we bring you a special phone a friend episode between either I'm not you or me and one of our rad pals.

Hey Ann this week. Hey Amina. Hey Ann this week I called up the ridiculously awesome and fun doda is Stewart.
