El Corner BoothEpisode 3: Disneyland, Vegas, children on leashes and foie gras cotton candyIn this episode, Ruthie takes up 75% of the time with stories and ponderings of Disneyland. Why is Disney so weird and the people there so awful? What even are Hokas and Genie + is an absolutely rip-off but a necessary one.
