About this episode
This week, Busy is doing her best at not being the best, Caissie is excited about a new Twitter follower and everyone is thrilled to interview the writer and star of the highest grossing romantic comedy film of all time, Academy Award nominee Nia Vardalos. But nobody is more thrilled than Shantira, who used to watch “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” with her Grandma Louise on VHS. Then the group reflects on Thanksgiving and why Ben Affleck wore that tiny face mask the other day.
