73 – Pie Girl Dinner – Strippers in Cake


December 20, 2022

About the Episode

Picture this: you go to a party in some fancy New York City high-rise. They bring in a cake. A girl jumps out of it. Everyone loves it. And you only have one question: why’d you ruin the cake!?

This week, Colin tells us the history of girls jumping out of cake while Sierra describes some of the worst (best?) Christmas movies she’s watched this week. Join us as we discuss how to tame a bird, Sierra’s childhood dog, and how to make peppermint bark.
