Summary
She's just a girl... standing in front of a boy... dressed like a Crayon. That’s right - Sue Heck’s first kiss is finally here! On the pod today, Nick McDonald (a.k.a. Joe, the mysterious Halloween smoocher) joins us to break down episode 214, "Valentine's Day II!" We cover everything from Sue’s desperate kiss quest to a full-blown on-set debate over how to say Reservoir Dogs. Plus, a sweet note Nick wrote to Eden, and the "adult beverages" he and Brock definitely didn’t drink responsibly when they both attended Chapman University.
