Jaaaaaaaay, I’m so sorry to hear about the big changes in your life… glad to hear you have a good support network in your co-hosts. Just want you to know you’re in my thoughts, bud.
Great episode, and spot on review. I was only sad to have watched the movie before listening- could have saved some time… but honestly, I have mostly come to associate Steven King adaptations with disappointment.
Dudes, you’re the best! Looking forward to next week’s show, just watched The Dark and the Wicked to prep.
Libby, hey!
Jay might be going through some big changes, but if I may be so bold… he is embracing his new life like a champ! I’m so proud of him, and I’m honored to be his friend.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on The Dark and the Wicked!
PS: Jay IS the best.
Jay
I’m so sorry to hear that you are going through this…..”this” being a divorce, I’m assuming from what you said….. I hope I understood correctly.
I’ve been divorced, & I can very much empathize. It sucks majorly.
Keep close with your friends & family. Talk with the supportive people in your life. Try to keep your head up, & remember that ya also have a support system of randos on the internet to talk to, if ya ever need us 🙂
I’m one of those randos, man! LOL! We’ve got our boy’s back! 🙂
