Peyton you have the most pure heart!! We get so invested in these episodes and you can hear it in your voice! Thank you for everything you do cause we love and appreciate you so much!!!
This was so horrible!
i’m loving the dark hair
I do ham every holiday Garrett! Even the best turkey is not as good as the average ham ok. 100% agree
And then turned around and sued for “letting him in”. Really?
Every time Payton cries it makes me cry too. Hearing what he did to an innocent child just gave me instant goosebumps and I had to hold in the waterworks. This was a hard one to get through
Hate Turkey as well! Ham is where it’s at!!
I feel the same way, the way he didn’t even ask the host if it would be okay to invite him over :/
I 100% agree with the turkey thing . My family does ham or roast a chicken ! Way better !!!
Have you tried deep fried turkey? If I eat turkey this is how I want it made!
I also am not a big fan of turkey, I’ll take a little but it takes a tiny spot on my plate. I love a good ham too. Best dish for me is green bean casorole!
As a listener i so want to blame Paul’s father.why did he invite Paul .
Also, this case has affected me more than any other case I have heard from you guys. I cried throughout the whole thing. I cannot imagine how painful it must have been for this poor family. Prayers go out.
My brother doesn’t like turkey either. And he hates all thanksgiving food except potatoes. So you’re not alone, Garrett!!
