LUNCH BREAK!
"Crazy how the very first sin was a woman who ate."
God forbid we get hungry... Grab yourself an heirloom tomato and piece of cheese because this week it's all about lunch!
Come along with your two favorite students of life for a little recap of how they've been feeding themselves physically, philosophically, and media-ically (IDKIDGAF) for the first half of the year. From analyzing their deepest, realest fears to shamelessly ogling over the men of the Survivor canon, Jerwin and Elizabeth take a little break from the syllabus to just hang out for one second (if you'd just let them!)
Topics discussed: the lingering aura of one Whitney Rose over the city of Milwaukee, the iron grip of the Call Me By Your Name (2017) soundtrack, and (as always) the sense memory of TOMS.
