Good Animal Nurse Bad Bonnie and Clyde Nurse

Thursday Jun 17, 2021

This week Tina is joined once again by fan-favorite David Metzger with the Nurse Papa podcast. Together they tell the not-so-Bonnie-and-Clyde story of a prison nurse from Tennessee who fell in love with a prisoner and proceeded to try to break him out with a plan that would leave a trail of destruction and heartache. The good nurse story is about a nurse in the United Kingdom who decided to give dogs who are dying a happy and comfortable place to live out the end of their lives. They close the show with the funniest joke in the world.
