Episode ten of the podcast has a special (and quite tipsy guest)—Ashley and Bailey's very own mom. They talk about the TV show Keeping Up Appearances that stars a character that has many, MANY similarities to the siblings’ mother. Amid the dog’s barking and Bailey’s pen clicking, they discuss the show, delving into ideas of Hyacinth being an antagonist and transphobia/homophobia of the 90s. They also answer questions and take a quiz to see what character they are...and Mom was not happy with her answer...at all. It was a wild time, but it’s the bonding that counts, right?
