In this week's episode Rick and Ricky are joined by Sierra Abler, Rick’s niece as they recap the last ten episode’s from a female listener’s perspective. Sierra is a wife, mother and former elementary teacher who is on the road to getting her doctorate degree.
It’s a fun and sometimes serious conversation that takes us back to the episodes that affected each other in different ways. From Tommy and Dara Parker to Kyle Craft there were some clips or parts of these conversations that touched Rick, Ricky, and Sierra differently. So sit back and listen and see if these are the points that you were drawn to in the previous episodes or let us know what points you liked from some of your favorite episodes.
Thank you for listening and of course Don’t Die Rusty.
