What a thrill to be absolutely terrified! In this Summer Kickoff episode, we celebrate Maggie living out her pop-punk dreams on the Warped Tour, double down on age fluidity and the importance of birthdays, and remind the Maxxinistas of the merits of risking it for the biscuit. We also dive into celebrity updates (Bieber, Diddy, Taylor, and Trump vs Elon), and wrap up Summer House Season 9 and Paige’s glorious run. Plus: a Glee rewatch, workplace gossip, and an encore for Jon Stewart (who was on crack?!). Welcome to your Slow Burn Summer. Stay hydrated out there.
