- She met Lee and they fell in love

Poor Debi. I like listening to her talk with Joe and I hope she finds contentment--heaven knows she's searching for it. My wife has some interesting theories about the origins of Debi's relationship problems which I'll ask her to share here someday.

I find it hard to have a lot of sympathy for people who live life to excess as Debi has. If you're going to attend a party dressed up like a prostitute, then why would you be surprised when you're treated like one?
Yes, I hope she finds happiness. But she's looking in all the wrong places, I think.
Her anecdotes are interesting, but I find Larry Block's stories more intensely personal. I think that he contribute more to Joe's later shows.
RandomTroll
Ms West is a professional actor playing a role for Joe Frank's shows. I have no reason to believe that the roles she plays reflect her personal life. 16:04, 14 Nov 2010 (PST)
