WRAP UP:

To wrap up the episode, we play Recent Obsessions. Nat can’t get enough of the Cacio e Pepe Puffs, which are like Pirate’s Booty, but fancier and more delicious. She’s also loving the tooth emoji, especially now that she’s found a dentist who will sedate her for her annual cleaning. Corinne has gotten really into a podcast called Crime Junkie, but be warned that it’s not for the faint of heart.
