Pdr College Podcast- Paintless Dent Repair / Removal Business And Marketing

Tonight on the PDR College Podcast… Keith and Shane attempt to record an episode using the internet, which—as you'd expect—immediately bursts into flames and dies in a ditch. Also a women's basketball team walks across a 2x4  Then there's a proper shoutout update on Paul Kordon and Jesse Brouse, a genuinely wild listener letter from a correctional facility, and a quick detour into Detroit Autorama—where million-dollar show cars are apparently still wavy enough to make a dent guy feel both smug and depressed at the same time. And finally, insurance adjusters… confirmation bias… and the shocking discovery that if you speak to people like they're humans, sometimes they stop acting like goblins.
