Joe and Tiana try to empathize with Bigfoot, the scientists studying the magnificent creature, and those who think Sasquatch might actually be in the trees you drive by in great ol' Washington State. Tiana travels to a fifth dimension in her brain and says weird, awkward things. Joe does great as always. At the end, Tiana recites her performance poem written from the perspective of Bigfoot.

This episode is what dreams are made of...and apparently dreams are made of poorly thought out plans and bad lip synching. We get really deep about teenage stars and uh...Justin Bieber?! Where are Paolo's parents? What did Paolo get himself into? Yes, there are some vaccine side effects contributing to the doozy-ness of the episode. We also share our own rendition of cheesy quotes such as the awe-inspiring one that the immaculate Paolo shared: "you shine like the light of the sun." So take a listen as we attempt to empathize with Paolo Valisari from The Lizzie McGuire Movie.
