This week, Jasmine and Michael are punchy thanks to spring allergies and just *gestures blindly to everything around*. Jasmine helps to make the news more fulfilling, and Michael talks galactic real estate. The Wheel of Topics finally comes through with something a little more fun, and the duo relives some Disney trauma. Grab your antihistamine and favorite cocktail or mocktail, and join us for some “Pleasant Conversations”!
