It’s a trip down “we don’t remember any of this” memory lane on the last week of the podcast! Kathleen goes through the most-listened-to episodes and Bebe is shocked at how little they can recall. Both women talk about what they’ve learned over the course of seven seasons, and then they remember THAT episode.

Note: Our episodes will remain up on our feed indefinitely.
