Free Voice Mail Episode: Public Face Plant
Ew.Today’s episode of Michael Perry’s Voice Mail is available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike. Just click here.
Mike reads the essay about the time he overdosed on pizza in a hotel room, decided to get fit in the course of a single day, and face-planted in public. In the Roughneck Reflection, he explains the story of the pizza in the picture, describes what it’s like to stay in a boutique hotel so boutique you can’t find the bathroom in your own room, and then he foreshadows next week’s episode, which is about supermodels and chicken coop residue.
Today’s essay is from the book Million Billion. The paperback, Kindle and other ebook versions, as well as all of Mike’s other hardcovers, paperbacks, and audiobooks are here at the Sneezing Cow store.
