The Taming of the Shoe - GDI 4579 starts at 31:19
A lady has so many shoes, she doesn't know what to do. Why is Amazon sending so many shoes to Anca Nitu? How many would you keep? Who still does COD? Did you have a Huffy or a Schwinn? Tom weaves a scenario. Don't forget to rotate your address. Did Roger do his research? Delivery talk takes over. Have you ever seen a shoe library? So many good shoe store names. Let the shoe puns fly. Do you still break in your shoes? Tom gives his thoughts on the Taylor Swift concert.
Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe.
