Rosie and Jessica's Day of Fun

This is not Nick Miller. If there’s one thing we both love, it’s a quiz. If there’s two things we love, it’s a quiz and Hallmark movies. In this episode, Quizmaster Rosie shares two Hallmark quizzes she wrote in lockdown, most of which is still relevant.

Snacks! Jessica’s got ’em. This episode was recorded in late October 2023, just before Rosie actually moved house (which she may have mentioned once or twice…) It’s still nice! Enjoy!

Hi Barbies! Rosie and Jessica went to see the corporate feminism juggernaut that is Barbie and loved it tbh.

In Episode 145, Rosie and Jessica tell you everything they plan to do in a season that is almost over. You see, Rosie’s old laptop, the Edit Booth 3000, died to death and the episode had to be liberated from within it.

In episode 143, Rosie and Jessica are just normal men, innocent men. They’ve celebrated Rex Manning Day, been on holiday again, and established an absolutely astonishing snack drawer.
