Would you like some cheese with your whine?
Aw, isn’t it sweet when you hear Kevin and John talk about their pin collecting days? Doesn’t it sound like they had ever so much fun? They’re leaving out one teeny detail; they would coerce any and every one to get pins for them. Listen closely to a podcast and imagine the two of them…

Perhaps it’s just an overdose of pixie dust from Disney overload –…
