Important Mormon intel. A correction re: our innate sense of rhythm. The FaT ShoT DruG (that isn’t working). A new installment of Liam Neeson, Help! Lindy has been TAKEN by a Toxic Man: Debit Card Edition. Plus, our buried headline: Meagan’s Wikifeet. Apparently, Meagan has a robust and active page all to herself, leading Meagan to book the first flight available to space with Gayle and the gang to escape this reality. In space, no one can see your feet.

Today Lindy and Meagan kick off with a humble but necessary installment of Department of Corrections: Peter Edition. Apparently one of these colonizing yahoos from last week did, in fact, step foot in Washington State–but don’t worry, we’ve decided to make that one a bonus Q so you can still graduate 8th grade.

If you thought Lindy’s train adventure was an unhinged delight YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT. This week it’s Meagan who hits the dusty trail on a trek from Washington, (District of Columbia) to Washington (State). Meagan bravely Dale Coopers her whole ass off with that tiny influencer mic. Along the way she endures a mid-flight beef with her evil auntie doppelganger, being bullied by her brother, and a fight for her life over a Caesar salad.
