Episode 579: What's in Your Pantry?
2/2/2023
Today we provide blueprints to our kitchens and reveal our most prized possessions as we channel The Hamburglar. Everything is fine (and surprisingly disorienting) as we share what's on the counter, what's tucked away and when we do (and don't) look out the window.
