Ah yes. In the words of Staind, "It's been awhile." But I am thrilled to be back with my favorite Ratfluencer from the UK, Lily from Lily's Rat Club!

I can't stress enough how much I love her rat content, because hey, I think rats kick ass. And if you are sitting there thinking I'm crazy, then this is definitely the podcast for you. Lily and I break down why we think rats are cool and lace this podcast with numerous rat facts that will have you re-thinking your position on "sexy slugs" and "serotonin potatoes™".

In typical fashion I make some mistakes, like referring to Mrs. Brisby (aka Mrs. Frisby) and her son from The Secret Of NIMH as rats, even though they are mice. But there are hella rats in that one so I don't feel too too bad.

I also wish I had all the time in the world because I have been on a huge TLC kick lately (the group, not the channel) and I would totally make a parody of Hat 2 da Back and call it "Rats and a Cat" ... my dream pet situation that will probably never happen. But for real, that first TLC album is 🔥🔥🔥. RIP Left Eye and Chilli PLEASE CALL ME, I DON'T CARE THAT YOU'RE 50.

Also RIP Sid The Rat, a very handsome boy whose Insta account led me to Lily's Rat Club.
