102! Six Handshakes: From Pretty BFFs to the Best-Worst Hitmen

This week, another episode of Six Handshakes!

Special guests Alex and Steven join Joey and Jess to talk about the six degrees of separation between Bunny the dog gaining sentience, the paradox of two pretty best friends, a Taiwanese Halloween contest, 🎶an exquisite burn🎶, Birds Aren't Real, and the Ig Nobel Prize. They don't talk about Nora's "Cutie Collection" *enough*.
