Teresa and Gina both have new books out. Teresa went on the Adam Carolla Show to promote her new book, “Making It Home,” but it kind of sort of didn’t exactly come up. Gina picked Teresa up from the studio, and they had kabobs and discussed the swing and miss. They still love the Ace Man, despite his foibles. They discuss how Teresa’s book is now the top new baseball book in America, which is crazy, since it began as a few pages she read to this audience’s Patreon. Gina also recounts her awkward final appearance on Adam’s show, where they did, indeed, discuss her book MY EXTRA MOM. Yes, there’s self-promotional book talk all around, but it’s also an emotional, revealing and fun look behind the scenes.

They missed talking to each other, and missed the Easy Listening easy listeners. Give it a listen. There are no ads to fast forward through, because, c’mon, like these two can deal with invoicing and taxes. This is just some free talk because two old friends couldn’t stay away! Free, and worth every penny.

G & T walk you through this experience.

It’s been said that Neil Diamond is the Pope of the Jews.
