A special Paige and Emily only episode, recorded live from their respective apartments! Topics include what we’re doing while in quarantine, the possible fates of various mall businesses due to the closure of malls during this time, and the increased use of the phrase “during this time.” Anyway, this is weird. Hope you like it. Be safe and absolutely do not go to the mall, which you can’t, because it’s closed. THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY STITCH FIX!
