September 20, 2022

About the Episode

Have you ever met someone that is so obsessed with themselves that they have to make sure everyone else is too? Well if you haven’t, now is your chance.

This week, Colin and Sierra add two more colorful characters to their ever-expanding deck of Weird People We Know About Trading Cards. Join us as we mispronounce everything, discuss the accounting-to-journalism pipeline, and the difference between hats and wigs.
