Hey Carol, it's Dana.

I'm so happy we were able to get to the bottom of the missing bikes! Also, I guess you're now not the only person on the planet who wants to have sex with people who look like Steve Buscemi! That's nice.

Hi Carol it's Dana. I think my car's haunted. Ugh. I hit a pole the other day and I'm normally such a good driver, too! It's the only possible explanation. = Dana

Carol, hi, it's Dana. Can the Kid walk me through it one more time? PLEASE. I need step-by-step instructions. I know to tell them your ghost is back and we talk about my new ghost that burns my pizza. Also, can you believe that young thing dated Thomas Edison!? Is there anything else? I'm sending Henry over to find you. - Your best friend Dana

Carol, it's Dana. I know the Kid walked me through how to do this last night but I'm lost again. Where do I put in the episode description and tell the listeners we meet a ghost who likes to tattle on their sister, we also talk about how much you love the movie, "White Chicks," why she believes she's a "hamster mom" and our Applebee's' drink of choice: the Kool-Aid wine blend. CALL ME!!! - Your best friend, Dana.
