On this week’s episode, Colleen has a Bridgerton hyper-fixation and we find out if everyone has an Adam's apple. Then we get into the topic of the week… THE OREGON TRAIL. Bridget explains how the US expanded West, what life was like on the road and covers the horrific story of the Donner Party. We end with a disturbing Reddit thread of “things my partner hid from me” and people are truly not okay. Come with us on this trek to the wild, wild West while we try not to get run over by a wagon!! #YouHadDiedOfDysentery
