Accent Accidents

What is it like to be a twin? Are you telepathic? What is the difference between fraternal and identical twins? In this episode we talked to Anna’s twin nieces, Syd and Maddi, about being musicians, what it was like to go Juilliard and common twinning misconceptions. Hannah asks some awkward questions about playing the trumpet and Evan has some dumb gross answers for what’s the word.

Special thanks to Syd and Maddi!

This episode may be short but somehow the topic of butts just keeps coming up. From our fave Friends characters to our least fave Tiger King zoo owners, we talk about how to properly respond to "thank you" and how you’ll never get a doggy bag in Australia. We go deep on the 13th element in the Periodic Table, and how you say the name of the seventh planet from the sun. Hannah sings, Evan mansplains, and we learn Anna's a snob. It's another must listen ep.
