We actually made it through one of the worst years ever. Meantime, most of you know who Stephanie is because so many of you learned about this show because of her show. But in case you're unfamiliar, Stephanie is the host of the nationally syndicated Stephanie Miller Show.

Today we talked about how she caused the MAGA entertainment complex to lose its shpadoinkle over a photo of her kissing Jasmine Crockett's feet. We also talked about some behind the scenes radio things. A little bike riding in there, too, including how she rescued me from a ditch after I crashed. And so much more.
