This leads into a fun discussion on their not-so-sexy but still playful merch ideas.

    They also touch on Roo’s anxiety-induced gas, Aimee’s love for her bikini body t-shirt (which she hopes to turn into merch), and her ever-present Nicolas Cage pillow. Plus, Roo proposes a new nickname for the listeners: Bed Bugs.
