Hey guys! I couldn't find where on spotify to leave a review from this episode, so I dropped it here.

I've been listening since day 1, your guests just keep getting better every episode so great job! That being said, this has been my favorite episode hands down! I have actually almost applied to be a warden in my state twice now, with the emphasis in trying to talk our dnr into starting a canine unit, hearing john talk about doing just that has made me want to do it even more now. Once I'm closer to retiring from what I'm doing now, I'm definitely going to do it. So thank you for bringing him on to talk!

P.S.

Drink recommendation....have you ever tried a "Long Drink"? It's a drink that came from Finland when they hosted the Olympics and wanted a national drink to give the athletes (go figure now they give them cardboard beds to dissuade fraternization lol) that is gin, juniper berries, grapefruit, and carbonation. They are so refreshing and light. Everyone I have given one to has said it is the best thing they have tried in a long time, so next time you're at the store pick up a few cans to try out during the show. Thanks again keep up the great work, and sorry you live in a commie state...
