How Were U Brainwashed?

"I'm the Backpack" (w/ Jenny & Nicole)

Season 2, Ep. 53

YOUR GIRLS ARE BACK!!!!


Nicole is back from maternity leave (does that exist for podcasters?) and she and Jenny have some major catching up to do.


They get into if babysitting prepares you for motherhood, how Joseph Campbell wishes he was as strong as Nicole, if Rosemary is a blonde's name, how they feel about Scandoval a year out, Tom Schwartz's anal fissure, pregnant villains, and Jenny wearing long shirts to bed.
