Kelly Vrooman (comedic actor on Black-ish, Grey's Anatomy, writer on Tuttle Twins, and former host Sprout's The Sunny Side Up Show) joins us to celebrate her hometown of Mansfield, Ohio, recalls her early days in theater, and talks honestly about her grandfather and what it was like going to a school where her mom was a teacher. Kelly Vrooman shares her experiences at Ohio cuisine staple Applebee's, tells us about growing up near the set of The Shawshank Redemption, and plays a hilarious game of WHEEL OF ANECDOTES. PLUS: The local murder trial of Dr. John Boyle.
