BGS Phone Call - The Ingenuity of the Househusband and Hometown Cha Cha Cha

We know what you are wondering and have the answers: 

Why you don't like "The ingenuity of the Househusband" even though you loved the anime version.

Why your friends don't like "Hometown Cha Cha Cha." 

Why you are just hearing about "Yumi's Cells" for the first time. 

Why Something Else is kindly providing imagery of a man getting syrup poured over his body.

Nevertheless: Why Song Rae is Team Park Jae-eon! Say it ain't so!

Song Rae goes off and might be Team F*ckboy!  Whaaat?!  The characters in Nevertheless are driving her mad!  Listen to the ladies discuss the show before watching the final episode.  Things you learn: (1) F*ckboys might win, (2) Song Rae is all about what women want, and (3) Silly tricks are for Mashed Potato Boy.
