WELCOME TO OUR FIRST EPISODE OF SO IT’S A SPICE!!!! Okay, but seriously, how did Richard Simmons have enough energy to start every show like that? In this ep, we are actually more confused by Lorelai’s mention of a spice than of a pop culture ref. How is nutmeg like Richard Simmons? We talk about workouts, Missing Richard Simmons, S•Town, and (of course) a lot of coffee to get to the bottom of it. Other pop culture refs we drop in: Grease, Buns of Steel, The Bangles, Chef Emeril Lagasse, Food Network, Friends, The Little Mermaid, Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding, The Webbys, Charo, NPR, The American Life, Serial
