Sam talks about almost killing the show, and Katie's warming up to her new life after moving from Colorado to small-town Idaho. Katie breaks down the culture shock of leaving Denver—bedazzled jeans, expensive cowboy gear that's built to last, and saddles with jewels on them.They dig into small-town weirdness: how tight everyone is, people resisting change while needing it, and why there's nothing to do except knock each other up.Katie explores how immigration officers at Ellis Island changed people's last names from cool Scandinavian stuff to basic names like Smith, and how women lose their identity when they switch to their husband's name.Sam hunts down "Bum Farto" a serial killer who turned himself in because his ego made him go into way too much detail about his crimes.Katie throws in her coworker with the last name Dickout and talks about the Swenson name actually meaning something back home.====Unlimited for $5...
