Brooke's husband Tristan is back! This time he joins the gals to tackle hard hitting questions about Pepsi, the Beatles and how to pronounce the word fondant. Then they all take a Buzzfeed quiz because when are Brooke and Pam NOT taking Buzzfeed quizzes?!
--
SHOW NOTES:
The Buzzfeed quiz we took is Plan A Picture Perfect Wedding And We'll Tell You Which Fictional Bride You're Most Like.
Brooke's armadillo groom's cake was made by The Bankery in Skowhegan, Maine.
If you haven't seen it yet, here is a picture of Brooke's armadillo cake.
And if you've never seen Steel Magnolias, here is the armadillo cake scene from the movie!
If you want to try the Dirty Girl Scout Martini that made Brooke barf (because she foolishly had 5 of them, not because the drink is bad!), head on over to Camp in Brooklyn.
