If You Had A Genie, What Would Your Three Wishes Be And Why?

The Upside Podcast is back after a one week hiatus! JP surprises Paulina and they head to the wonderful city of San Diego for Valentine's Day and record this week's episode from the bed of their hotel room (warning, they're a bit delusional). They chat about how they've celebrated the day in the last few years and the the unfortunate events that they needed to get through this past week. The question for this episode, they answer the age old question, if you had three wishes from a genie...what would you wish for? Everything from eating anything you want without gaining a pound to wishing the world treat each other as if we were at a rave, they delve into what would make a good wish and how the genie might somehow screw it up.
