In this episode, the girls display a stunning show of patriotism while talking about when Canada (technically England still but shhh) burned down the White House during the war of 1812. We also mispronounce the name Cockburn, give our hot takes on the Canada/USA trade war, and discuss the dangers of traveling with your friends to Europe.

Okay love you bye <3

On this ep of GH, the incredible Ashley Norton joins us to tell us the tale of Lizzie Borden, the alleged axe murderer of yore and star of the "Lizzie Borden took an Ax" poem.

Lizzie Borden took an ax

And gave her mother forty whacks,

And when she saw what she had done,

She gave her father forty-one.

Slay!
