This week, we can not figure out what is more amazing….our guest’s survival, or how much she can smile and laugh about what happened. In November 2021, Jordan Hatmaker jumped from an airplane over 13,000 feet in the air, had her parachute get entangled with her leg, hit the ground at 80 MPH, and after all that, she is on our show smiling and laughing telling us the story. We chat about the emotions of the situation, the recovery, and how she even got a date from a photo in her hospital bed.
In a typical Verbal Shenanigans fassion, we discuss being hungover at a bounce house party, Monster Jam, Siamese twins getting married, and play a game of "Only in Florida." Have a listen!
