In this very special opinions-based episode, the girls discuss the casting of the Beatles biopic- Paul Mescal as Paul, Harris Dickinson as John, Joseph Quinn as George, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo. It was simply too much of a historical event for us to ignore, so we've deviated from our regularly scheduled programming to bring you an hour of solid Carley and Blair opinions. Here you go girls!
But don't worry! We also talk allergies a...
Continuing on our theme of "Canada". the girls discuss the Dionne Quintuplets, the 5 babies born in rural Ontario and became a depression-era sensation. This one is sad! Babies should not be a tourist attraction (hot take)
