Summary

Have you ever felt like so much is happening at once, your brain can’t get anything done? Kathleen is having that kind of week, so she’s laying out all of the big (and hilariously small) things that are going on in her life right now. (For example, she’s accidentally getting an old Texas woman’s grocery receipts…) Then, Bethany digs into the mysterious story of a handful of American and Canadian diplomats who suffered brain damage after hearing strange noises in Havana, Cuba! Plus, the ladies have a fun announcement, Bethany debuts a new movie game, and the class hears your voicemails!
