This is connected to the Wet-Nail Virus! A guy I know at city hall told me. He must know what he’s talking about because his listens to WSAR radio. Careful what you say though, because their operatives are always listening. Thanks David Meade for the information on your last podcast. I was zoomin when you said that one!
