Ok, truthfully, our parents never expressed doubt that we could survive the year. But Jolyn and I need to funnel our teenage angst somewhere and Bob & Cathie are firm and steady targets for this sort of thing because they're mature and they don't fight back when nonsense is spewed at them, which is exactly what I look for in my life associates because I have a very loud bark but ultra-sensitive ears.
Where was I? Oh yes.
The one-year anniversary of Strangerville is upon us, and Jolyn and I need you to come celebrate with us. We have cake and everything. Unfortunately you can't have any because this is a podcast and we ate it all anyway. Unless you want to go get your own cake and then listen to this episode while you eat it. There's a 12% chance Jolyn will jump out of it if you get it from Baskin Robbins. Even higher if the cake is large enough to fit a human inside.
This year has been amazing and this is largely because of you. We have had so much fun building Strangerville and sharing it with all of you. You have made Strangerville so much better than it ever could have been by sharing your stories, your feedback, your voodoo, etc. And we don't know where we would be if you hadn't helped us spread the Strangerville word by sharing your favorite episodes on social media and bathroom walls.
Actually we do know where we would be. In our basement, wearing Snuggies, and binge-watching both seasons of Fuller House. Which is actually not such a bad consolation prize.
We love you. And we are so excited to share Episode 12 with you. So please join us for our celebration and catch up with some of your favorite storytellers. Bonus points for anyone who shares in the comments your favorite Strangerville memories. (We aren't sure yet what the bonus points can buy, but we do know they are valuable).
This time in Strangerville we celebrate Strangerville’s first birthday by taking a walk down memory lane, playing never-before-heard clips from you favorite stories, and providing some updates from Strangerville’s most memorable storytellers. Join us for this packed episode of nostalgia and celebrate a momentous anniversary with your favorite (and hottest) Strangerville residents.
~It Just Gets Stranger
One of my favorite stories from the year was the one about the woman who worked on the airport on 9/11 and then had to go to Europe to find her husband after he had been shot in Afghanistan. I will also always love g mac. I'm glad she made it into this.
ReplyDeleteBrianne's story about adopting her boy is my favorite thing you've done.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are my favorite thing in the whole world!!!
DeleteI think every new episode is my new favorite. The stories you choose/tell seem to align to well with my life. Stop reading my mind! Or actually, I think I'll allow YOU AND JOLYN to keep reading my mind because y'all are some of my favorite people and I don't let just anyone into my head!
ReplyDeleteWe actually hired a very expensive PI about a year ago to follow you around. Hashtag worth it.
DeleteTyler's mom story is my favorite thing I've ever heard on a podcast, even though it made me sob my eyes out. So glad you did an update from him and so glad to hear that he is doing pretty well. I hereby request that you always do updates on everyone.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Strangerville. Thanks for putting it out there!
ReplyDeleteOh, those moms. Your moms, JJ's mom, Tyler's mom. So fun/awesome/heart wrenching/sweet. I loved that whole thing. Although, Mr. T's mom would've given that episode just that extra oomph. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's not too late!
Delete"playing never-before-heard clips from you favorite stories" Are you calling me a story? If you are, I suppose that I qualify as a favorite, which provides some consolation, but what happened to your grammar police? Hashtag dropped the ball.
ReplyDeleteFinally found a moment to listen to this episode-- Always a treat! My favorite stories on Strangerville are the travel stories by far. Drama, excitement, fear, despondency, triumph-- all in one place. Love.
