Claudia and Mean Janine: “Monster smock”

We all get hit with all the feels in the episode. Love Mimi. Love Janine. Love sisters. Hate transphobia about Louie the collie—let him (Or her? Or them?) be! Also, we create a “BSC Big Five” personality assessment to help a listener figure out which baby-sitter(s) she is, and Anne goes on a both a long junk food rant (of course) and into a fanfic wormhole (more Janine… and Charlie Thomas! Steamy!).
