Name of a recent podcast episode: waitress deals with rich jerk in LA

May 1, 2015 8:20 AM

I heard a great story about a waitress in Hollywood who dealt with a vulgar regular diner who turned out to request her every time he returned. Eventually they develop a friendship and he flies her granddad to Las Vegas so he can fly a vintage WWII airplane he bought from Tom Cruise. Ring any bells?

Scram is correct. It was also rebroadcast on at least one other podcast, but Strangers is the origin point.

I just listened to this piece, and it is quite good!

I don't ordinarily dream of being rich, but if I was, most of the joy would be doing random acts of awesome like this. :7)
