    In the season finale of Pillow Fort with Roo & Aimee, the duo wraps up with a mix of laughs, confessions, and some seriously relatable moments.

She wishes she could kick the habit but admits she’s so embarrassed that she’d rather tell the police she’s drinking alcohol if she got pulled over. Meanwhile, Roo can’t seem to find the perfect bed setting—everything is either too hard, too soft, or way too expensive, leaving her back in a constant state of discomfort.


    They also touch on Roo’s anxiety-induced gas, Aimee’s love for her bikini body t-shirt (which she hopes to turn into merch), and her ever-present Nicolas Cage pillow. Plus, Roo proposes a new nickname for the listeners: Bed Bugs.
