April 29
53 mins

Episode Description

Jeannette visits Jonathan in Montreal and they get their fill on leafy greens in their winter coats. Jeannette commits the ultimate faux pas while not understanding what that means since she doesn't speak French. Another round of F*ck, Marry, Kill (nut edition)! We get into hazelnuts and the plant's ultimate reproductive power play, while discovering their global impact and why one chocolate spread controls the world’s hazelnuts. We also look into why Oregon calls it their state nut and what they used to call their state nut. Finally, the sluts learn about Celtic Tree Astrology and why Jeannette will probably never be happy.
