TCN Mornings Episode 250 - Transcript for Tuesday, October 19, 2021

Hey kids, welcome into your Tuesday, the 19th day of October, AND this is episode number 250 for TCN Mornings, so how about that?! Today is also National Kentucky Day! Yeah!

And that’s something you really never want to do. Because, well, it’s not your business, and that’s just their own character flaw that they need to deal with.
