How Were U Brainwashed?

"A Verification Family Plan" (w/ Sofia Dobrushin)

Season 2, Ep. 71

Jenny & Nicole welcome actor (Mean Girls, Booger), comedian, and writer/director Sofia Dobrushin to the pod!


We get into Sofia's role in the new movie Booger (in theaters this Friday!), the DJ @ the DNC, warm Caesar salads, dogs being camera shy, if Nicole's babies should be bartenders on WWHL, if trigger warnings can actually trigger people, giving other people the opportunity to change, calling your parents on the school office phone, boiling your tampons, and having art teacher vibes.
