  • Unexpected Encounters
    Jul 19 2024

    Join Jamie and Terrence for a special episode where they read listener stories and go to Reddit for some wild encounters. In the first segment, Jamie reads stories submitted by listeners, recounting tales of shocking discoveries during showings, an agent’s determination to do a showing despite being terribly hungover and experiencing an untimely period, and a lender committing fraud. In the second segment, the two turn to Reddit where they ask the question, “What is the strangest thing you have ever walked in on and how did you react?” You’ll never believe some of the answers they got! This episode concludes season 1 of RealTea Chicago. Stay tuned to find out who is pregnant in season 2…
