Summary

Molly wore a blueberry beret, and we think we love her. In this episode, we take a look at the first Molly book & the story that launched our love of American Girl. A surprising amount of this book hinges on a vegetable and a hula outfit. We tackle these plots and zoom out a bit to talk about wartime sacrifice and colonial costumes. We also talk about the Clare of it all and what is perhaps the most shocking season of Bachelorette to date.

0:31.5	inferior candidate we will not accept someone who is here to just get engaged to the first man that

2:17.0	In a way, yes, but it's also one of the most frustrating seasons I've ever watched. Last night I was screaming at my own television and it was not election
2:25.8	results. Shockingly, it was watching Claire basically exit herself from the Bachelor, but was more
