Ep.180 - The Book Of Love Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

Episode Notes

This week we talk about Lorna Dane, the lady known as Polaris. She had a rough go of it at the start of the 00s and we dive right into that whole ding dang mess.

Also, Zack got a football fact wrong and is very sorry that he implied that the traitor Tommy Tuberville used to coach Alabama, not Auburn. It's been a long week and Zack tries to think about the SEC as little as possible. Bama still sucks. Go Bucks!
