We begin this episode of DXP by freaking out about how young we apparently still look (who knew?).

Biebers involve movie twists and supermarket checkout lanes.

We begin this episode by waxing nostalgic about Harry Potter and mocking Marvel Universe movies.

We decide to give meditation a shot, and then share biebers involving supermarkets and booking trips online.
