Ooohh time-space continuum is on the fritz–it’s a completely different day and yet…possibly the same day, who could say? They’re wearing different clothes, so the evidence suggests either 1) a parallel universe is unfolding before us 2) we’re caught in a time loop, or 3) that Lindy and MHM changed clothes between two back to back recordings to present YouTube viewers with a new visually stimulatin...
