Does anyone really know how to purchase eggs at the supermarket? It's so confusing! Time to break out our reporter hats. Bethany and Kathleen are circling back on a former advice letter from Persephone after a touch of very polite blowback. Kathleen threw up. Bethany licked the microphone. RIP Bill Paxton… you gave us so many great movies. You should def sanitize your headphones after this episode.
