Summary
In this week's episode, Liz is joined by her sister (and our first returner guest) Sarah. They talk about how the constant circulation of bad news is exhausting and wearing people thin, but that we need to remember to find joy wherever we can. They talk about coping mechanisms and how they, themselves, get through it all. They share belly laughs and cover humorous questions and topics. Sarah shares a harrowing lightning story for Ranger Tea. They try a bizarre Japanese candy and share their reactions. And last but not least, they dive into Coalpail.com, a strange website with a random topic discussion board which includes a man named Freddy's vehement abhorrence to the changes in Blueberry Morning cereal by Post.
