This week (recorded on December 17, 2017), Cate and Liz start with interesting and even weird Christmas traditions from around the world. Then they take a sharp turn away from the holiday cheer, to report on a woman who claims she has had sex with 20 ghosts and prefers them to men which leads to discussions on ghost bars and the gap in the ghost porn market. In pop culture, the gals recap the top 10 most Googled celebrities of the year and banter about their love or hate for each of them. In crime corner, Cate talks about an 84-year-old physician who has had her medical license revoked after refusing to use a computer. Will she enter the 21st century or continue to fight the good fight to have her license reinstated? Also in crime Liz reports on a mystery public pooper terrorizing a New York town and other notorious instances of public dumping that happened this year. Crime continues on in the Animal Kingdom segment when a missing Missouri dog becomes the subject of a court battle and faked death. In #MomSquad, Cate shares some of the best tweets from parents about their kids and Christmas shopping. In sports, the gals get drunk depressed when Liz reports on the ex-wife of a former NBA player being charged with his murder, but then turn that into angry drunk when they debate whether or not a Care Bear display in a UMass dorm is offensive. All this and so much more!
