Summary
Sarah shares some of the country's most bizarre regional slang, and Susie thinks this means it time for her to demonstrate her Pittsburgh yinzer accent. We hear about royal gag gifts, and what the Megan Markle bought the Queen for Christmas. Plus, we talk to Amy Kaufman, author of Bachelor Nation about America's guiltiest pleasure. We hear what goes on behind-the-scenes, and why we should all be disturbed.
