Yo. Let's talk about nuts. It's time for "It Happened One Nut," here on Morgendorks! When a career aptitude test shakes some of Lawndale High's finest, Daria ends up getting a job alongside Kevin at the local mall's peanut distribution specialist, It's a Nutty Nutty Nutty World.
We also spend some time talking about Baby Nut, because how were we supposed to avoid that?
And for our cultural context, we dive into the nostalgic mystery of the dyed, bright-red pistachio. Why did we dye pistachios? And what does it have to do with the Iran Hostage Crisis? All this and more, this week on Morgendorks!
