Canadian families of freed hostages relieved but lament how long it has taken

JL;DR SUMMARY The episode delves into the relief and lingering traumas experienced by Canadian families following the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
