There’s really something special about podcasting <3 Like the fact this ep caught the live moment when we realized what we had been yapping about for 40 minutes was basically just the Streisand Effect. Nothing (just kidding, literally so much) gets past us! Anyhow, we hope y’all liked our REBOOT last week, but we have a fresh NEW ep for you today! This one starts with our chaotic as f*ck response to a listener voicemail about Katy-Perry-Blue-Origin-gate, a shoutout to the gal who upgraaaaaaaded Abby at the Apple Store (y’all aren’t ready for the new technological power we yield), and of COURSE the scoop on Ben becoming a puppy father. Once we actually *get into it*, we dig into the theory that people who are guilty about something are going to say WAYYYYY too much in an effort to cover things up, and given this, we’re suspicious AF about the DHS statement that came out after Kristi Noem got robbed… like, why preemptively say she had “blank checks” on her?? To translate a summary of the ep into the language of Pop Girlie - what was THAT?!
