Happy Engagement Season! Kathleen’s coming in with hard facts about lab-grown diamonds. Are they better for the environment? Are diamonds made in a lab REAL diamonds? And can Bethany get a diamond grown in the shape of her face? Then, Bethany is going through some spooky rituals and games that you can play alone, with friends & family, and even THE OTHER SIDE (bwahahaha). Get ready to evacuate your apartment building! Plus, what’s the real difference between a psychopath, a sociopath, and a cat?
