S3 Ep273: The History of the Pumpkin Spice Latte + When Eisenhower Met with Aliens


Listen Later

Deepest, bluest, our hat is like a shark fin. Last week, Kathleen and Bethany assigned each other’s topics, which is why Victorian goth Bethany is discussing the PSL and why self-labeled “Basic Bitch” Kathleen is delving into the conspiracy theory about Eisenhower meeting (twice!) with aliens. Plus, play a rousing game of “Candle Scent or Obnoxious Vegan Recipe” with your coworkers as a team-building exercise!
