Summary
On today's new episode the Bayer siblings are thrilled to be joined by the hilarious comedian Michelle Collins! Jonah's got a new popcorn maker and the trio get into their favorite popcorn and the exotic places they'll go to get it! Plus Michelle tells us what it was like growing up in Miami and we do a deep dive on her career and a debunk of some false Wikipedia narratives about her! Plus we reminisce on an old favorite, Infomercials! And how kids today don't know the joy that is turning on the tv and being exposed to an extended advertisement! We get into our favorite infomercials, like a knitting machine that Vanessa is still thinking of getting, and our favorite informercial-adjacent products, including a lot of kitchenware that has unfortunately been retired in our homes. And in a rousing game of CHANGE DOT DORK, we discuss the pause of The Real Housewives of Miami, bringing back Dr. Pepper-flavored Lip Smackers, and a campaign to cover the entire top of Pop-Tarts with frosting. This delightful episode is a must-listen!!
