Summary
George Michael secretly recorded every instrument while Andrew Ridgely basically jingled some bells. Then the conversation unravels into Danielle’s book obsession, our collective childhood-trauma movies (WHY were they like that?!), Gandhi’s podcast chaos, an unexpectedly healthy serving size of Animal Crackers, and a deer who caused Christmas-store mayhem before being rescued.
