Okay, ladiez (I assume everyone reading this is a lady-maybe I shouldn’t? Mens, you are welcome too), here we go. You know it’s a Super Important Episode because of the Pun in the Title, although personally I would’ve gone with “Hungary, Hungary Hippos” because IRONY.

This is embarrassing, but I realized this morning, as I was filling my Brita filter (New York living-Glamo-R-US!), that I had forgotten to include one last (but not least) matryoshka item I own.
