Writer and fellow Law & Order: SVU obsessive Amy Jacobowitz is the guest on this week’s episode of The Blaze with Lizzie and Kat, and we’re almost as stressed as David Silver during finals. Almost.

Joined by our friend Ashley we celebrated not only Brenda’s engagement to Stuart, but also the first hundred episodes of our Beverly Hills, 90210 podcast.
