Mary Lucia Is Harder to Relate To (And We Love It)
Host Sean McPherson is definitely taking breaks during the Turkey Trot on Thursday, and that’s totally fine. Contributor PaviElle French tells us other ways you can pre and post-game your Thanksgiving meal. Plus, another radio legend, Mary Lucia, sits down with Sean to talk about her new memoir, “What Doesn’t Kill Me Makes Me Weirder and Harder to Relate To.” After living through a traumatic stalking experience, she created new holiday traditions, designed her book cover, and leaned on herself. Plus, Mary tells Sean why her pugs are just old men in dog form.
