My sister Lucy is back to enjoy a Cann with me (I'm drinking 0 mg) and catch up on everything while we answer your listener questions! We get into sibling competition and jealousy, our fall fashion wishlists, current TV obsessions, and why I desperately want a weekly hangout show together. Plus, a listener call-in about moving in with family gets a little too personal and we close it out with a chaotic number-guessing game.
