Host Mac talks about Empress Elizabeth Petrovna of Russia, who is regularly glossed over in Russian textbooks for the future empress, Catherine the Great. She talks about her clothing collection, wonders if anyone else had to cut chunks out of their hair after they got gum stuck in it or if they did the peanut butter method to get it out without scissors, and talks about her failure to uproot the status quo in Russia.
