Ever had to make a life changing decision immediately? We hear from two people who didn't have a lot of time to make an important choice. First, Luke talks about finding himself face to face with someone from his past (who happens to be a member of his church). And then we hear from Jan, a sergeant in the NYPD, who had to bend the rules a bit to help someone in need (it involves a Winnie The Pooh Piglet doll).

Steve tells us about the time he was inspired to play music after meeting his idols, The Flaming Lips, who he eventually toured with. That's also when he found out some dreams aren't meant to be followed. And Niabi shares with us why she eventually quit a job as a knife thrower's assistant for The Great Throwdini.

I'll Accept The Charges: Very recently Clementine got a collect call from a correctional facility. It was her long lost uncle asking for help. But as time went on, the only things that started to add up in his story were the phone charges. Then things got weird. Clementine is using her real name but all other names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent - and the guilty.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong: Jackson found out the hard way - the very hard way - what happens when you throw a little party in your boss's house while they're away and put the invite on Facebook. Again, Jackson is using his real name but others have been changed to protect a certain restraining order.
