S1E12: Nixon v. Kennedy (ft. Friend of the Pod, Taylor last name redacted!)

Published: Aug. 16, 2020, 10:45 p.m.

It’s election day and as you can see by the run time we count every single vote ourselves. Kristina and Elias couldn’t shoulder the burden of such a world-changing event, in the show and in real life, by themselves.  So they enlist one of their best good friends Taylor (introduction at start of episode) to join them over multiple rounds of Grasshoppers (drink lesson at 4:17).  They discuss the pros and cons of crème de menthe, wrap their heads around Kinsey’s play, and debate whether flowers are a good gift for…anyone (episode discussion/recap starts at 8:36).
