On this episode which we recorded one day before Jenna’s due date (spoiler alert: she’s still pregnant) we talked about cervical ripeness, my buying pre-peeled hard cooked eggs because I’m a “useless sack of shit,” how to properly boil eggs at home, mint ice cream and whether it’s gross or not (#AL and #ALISON say it is), Greg officiating at his sister’s wedding, books vs Kindles, eating dogs and cats, googling upsetting things, massages at barbershops, sunglasses and rudeness and so much more. Plus we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.
