Episode Description
Mother Nature really pulled a fast one on us this week, going from a lovely 70 degrees back down to freezing in a snap! I mean, what gives? It's like she decided to give us the cold shoulder right after I finally took my first morning walk since last fall. Seriously, I'm not impressed. Speaking of things that can leave you feeling frosty, we dive into the world of Girl Scouts and their cookie sales, sharing some hilarious anecdotes about the lengths we go to for those sweet treats. Plus, we’ve got a classic movie on deck—1978’s “Foul Play”—featuring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase, where a shy librarian gets caught up in a wild assassination plot. So grab your favorite snack and get cozy as we explore the highs, lows, and laugh-out-loud moments of this delightful film!
