A cold snap started and Val and Lee are not handling it well, judging by their haikus. LeeLee gives us trivia about where the word Triscuit comes from and requests a mapping system for the life cycle of her clothing. Both Val and Lee ponder the pros and cons of having snakes as pets and lose their shit over the very idea of a fresh cookie. Plus, it’s a Books episode! Lee and Val share their thoughts and feelings about The Smell of Other People’s Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock. Listen to the full ep to find out what type of nun LeeLee would be if she was a nun.
SHOW NOTES:
When Val said “Did you see the-?” and didn’t finish their sentence, they were referring to the SNL sketch with John Mulaney about the Port Authority Duane Reade.
John Mulaney’s horse in a hospital bit is from Trump’s first administration :(
You too can look at a meme of a sad oompa loompa and learn about the terrible event it references.
Val and Lee were not that impressed by Otherworld Philadelphia.
LeeLee is reading Burn by Peter Heller
The name of the nun in Derry Girls is Sister Michael
Immaculate is a horror movie starring Syndey Sweeney as Sister Cecilia.
Quote from the book: “Because isn't that how forever happens—instantly?”
