| 1:28.1 | Plus, everyone's favorite cult movie director, John Waters, stops by to answer your etiquette questions. |
| 1:33.3 | And if that sounds familiar, that's because this is an encore broadcast of an episode we first aired in June. |
| 1:38.2 | So cast your mind back to a time before everything in the supermarket was pumpkin spice flavor. |
| 1:43.8 | When, as at any dinner party, we started |
