Episode 725: Persimmon to Approach the Branch

Episode 725

11th June 2025

Is a stranger’s persimmon tree fair to pick? Or is it FORBIDDEN FRUIT? A couple disagrees and one of them believes they are owed some persimmons!

Episode notes

While on a drive, Vera wanted to stop and pick some persimmons from a random tree. Matt said NO! Since they don’t know the tree owners, those persimmons are FORBIDDEN FRUIT. But Vera really wants those persimmons! They’ve been holding a grudge against Matt ever since. Who’s right? Who’s wrong?
