About the Episode

Put on your big boy pants because we’re asking even bigger-boy questions: did they wear wigs?

This week, Colin tells the story of André the Giant while Sierra won’t stop asking very detailed questions that we don’t have answers to. Join us as we discuss the use of velvet ropes, what a size 25 shoe looks like, and the different things you smell when you’re not 6′ tall. You can’t miss it! Literally. Cause everything about this episode is giant.
