After a travel-induced hiatus (Barcelona, Maine, and zero Wi-Fi), Rachel and Brandon are back—with a shameless plea for your 5-star reviews and YouTube follows. We spiral through: the NYC mystery plague (prednisone + stomach fireball + nocturnal groans), dog-sitting Brisket, and the life-changing magic of pimple patches. Then it’s reality TV time: Big Brother’s messy “Cheatmance,” Zingbot’s roast, jury weirdness, and why the gameplay feels off; plus Love Is Blind UK—pods vs. real-world “intangibles,” types that aren’t just looks, and a surprisingly thoughtful detour into Human Design (splenic vs. sacral) and trusting your gut. We round it out with privacy/phone culture, doxxing dread, and some quick Emmys takes.
