Danielle and Brittany finish Where'd You Go, Bernadette with a bang by bringing on a special guest, BRIAN! That is right, it is THE Brian. This episode was recorded back in March 2019 and OMGosh we are SO sorry! Some Pre-COVID beats of the episode include Brittany hating being confined from people and Danielle constantly coughing in the background with no worry from anyone.

 Christmas in August! Here our gift to you! This episode, scheduled to air on Christmas day 2018, touched us and we hope it touches you in the most nonsexual way!

It’s a long one, but it’s worth it.

Bernadette.  This season on BaBaT, we are talking about "Where'd you go, Bernadette?" Just as elusive as Carmen Sandiego, Bernadette is missing and it's up to her ten (fourteen?) year old child to find her. It's a real Where's Waldo ...
