<description>&lt;div&gt;During the New Zealand winter of 1995, a happy couple walked into a local retailer in the city of Christchurch. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; After browsing the aisles, they found a brand new high chair and made a small down payment to place it on layaway. It would still be some months before they needed it, as the woman had just discovered she was pregnant a few days prior. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Within weeks, the man who’d been with her called the store to cancel the order…Sadly, he explained, the high chair was no longer needed.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;strong&gt;How to support:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;strong&gt;For extra perks including exclusive content, early release, and ad-free episodes -&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Go to - &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.patreon.com/MadnessPod"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Patreon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;strong&gt;How to connect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://mindsofmadnesspodcast.com/"&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/themindsofmadness/"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/themindsofmadness/"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/MadnessPod"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Please check out our sponsors and help support the podcast:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Zocdoc - &lt;/strong&gt;Go to &lt;a href="https://zocdoc.com/MADNESS"&gt;zocdoc.com/MADNESS&lt;/a&gt; and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.
