S11E11: Jump | Aviatrix Pancho Barnes & Valerie Bertinelli and Eddie Van Halen

It’s a week of high-fliers! Stacie has the over-the-top story of Pancho Barnes, a woman of adventure and aviation pioneer who built a desert watering hole that helped usher in the jet age. Then, Alicia has the story of the long, and in many ways successful, marriage of actress Valerie Bertinelli and rocker Eddie Van Halen. Sure, they divorced, but sometimes that’s the best way to save a grand friendship.
