This episode, Rosie faces her fear of dolls and Miya faces her past as the pair step into the pink-branded, immaculately themed world of American Girl. They talk about the rise and fall of the historical dolls (justice for Ivy Ling!), the elaborate experience that is the American Girl Place, and finally create American Girl dolls of each other.

(NOTE: Miya has microphone issues for the first 15 minutes of this episode, but it does get fixed! We apologize; she was recording underwater and cosplaying as a mermaid.)

Rosie and Miya are joined by a guest, Ariana Grande-approved blue check journalist and close personal friend Joshua Bote (USA Today, NPR Music, Billboard), to vision board their ideal Disney Channel star careers –– the highs and lows, the scandals, the cringey adult pivots, and the mediocre pop hits.

They celebrate the return of the NBA (and give Miya a crash course in basketball) in a very special edition of Would You Eat This?
