Trying to make this week’s episode tasty was not unlike trying to polish the proverbial. That being said, we are nothing if not consistent and have dished up your weekly need-to-know as usual. From asking the question we’ve all been discussing over the dinner table (…is this World War III?!) to spitters and spittees and whether a watermelon really has a husk or not. Oh, and we’ve been deprived of our trusty studio this week so our entire ep is brought to you via the unglamorous but oh so reliable Google Meet. So strap in, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!
