Hello babies!
We would love for you to join us and turn your brain fully off for the next hour.

Hello babies!
Hope all you American babies had a lovely July 4th, and your dogs aren't too traumatized. Lisa and Emily both visited family, in the midwest and east coast respectively.

Hello babies!
Let's get this out of the way - even a genius can make a mistake. In this episode, Lisa says that the new Mission Impossible movie is coming out this week.
