Like many, we were glued to the television streaming "Hamilton" the film on Disney+. While it took us five years to catch on to the phenomenon, we're here for it now. Ignore that JP butchers Lin Manuel-Miranda's name for half the episode, but enjoy when Peggy calls him out on it.
Have you ever traveled so far outside of your comfort zone with a particular food or restaurant that you had regrets even before ordering your food?

In this episode, JP and Peggy present two different sides of how they react in emergencies and let you choose who you would rather call in the event of an emergency.
