Almost Getting Kicked Out of Her Own Party

Hallie opens the episode with a riveting tale about nearly being ousted from a party she threw. The conflict arises over a restrictive bathroom policy that limits the number of people to two per bathroom.

[12:45]

She humorously enumerates various "icks" that lead her to lose interest, from trivial habits like wearing flip-flops to more personal observations:
