Okay so my co-workers have spent the last three days explaining the concept of the show Marriage or Mortgage to me AND I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! I actually thought Shelli was making it up when she first mentioned the gay couple on it, like some kind of flash fiction about how dramatic lesbians are — but no! It’s a real show where people choose to have a wedding or a literal HOUSE. Do y’all know about it? I’m going to make the entire team write about it as soon as the fundraiser is over, so stand by for that. In the meantime, here’s a Monday Pop Culture Fix for you!
