Superstitions always make for some great story telling. Some are made up, some we think we can trace back, and many are what my grandma used to pass down. Those are my favorites. Who knew poop was good luck?

Gary knows a lot about a lot, and Kristi tends to forget the minute he tells her. Listen in on the banter that occurs when a husband and wife don't always see eye to eye on the randomness.
