Ep 184: Leonardo DiCaprio & Age Gaps

Sep 8, 2022

Sep 8, 2022

59 min

Leonardo DiCaprio's latest breakup with model Camila Morrone right after her 25th birthday had Twitter in a frenzy, and the graph of Leo's dating history resurfaced. We discuss when and why huge dating age gaps are icky. We also revisit the Olivia Wilde drama in the wake of the Venice Film Festival Premiere of "Don't Worry Darling." From Florence Pugh's Aperol Spritz to Chris Pine's meme-able expressions and Harry Style's spit (!?) it was fun to rehash. 


We see you: US District Judge Reed O'Connor, John Blake (and CNN for publishing) a dumb piece on 'wokeness' in Middle Earth, SC sentencing Brittany Martin to 4 years for her "behavior" at a racial justice protest, all the US law enforcement and government officials who are members of the Oath Keepers, Johanna Garcia's ponzi scheme, adult man at the Nationals game who stole the baseball from young girls

We discuss the drama unfolding around Olivia Wilde, Florence Pugh (aka "Miss Flo"), Shia LaBeouf Harry Styles, and Wilde's new film Don't Worry Darling.

We take a break from the heaviness of the world and indulge in the latest celeb gossip.

Ep 180: What is Joe Manchin Up To?

Aug 4, 2022

Aug 4, 2022

55 min

We're so confused about what Joe Manchin is up to! Is he actually going to cooperate with Democrats and pass an actual substantive bill? A bill that includes both climate action AND eliminates the carried interest loophole? Is that optimism we feel?

Ep 179: ”Aging Gracefully”

Jul 28, 2022

Jul 28, 2022

1hr 1 min

Ep 177: Other Terrible SCOTUS Decisions

Jul 7, 2022

Jul 7, 2022

1hr 20 min

There were plenty of other terrible SCOTUS decisions handed down this term, and we take a look at a few of them. The Washington Post summarized it best - "The emboldened 6-3 conservative majority, with three nominees of President Donald Trump, wasted little time expanding the rights of gun owners to carry firearms in public, strengthening the role of religion in public life and sharply curtailing the Biden administration’s power to combat climate change." Conservatives have the court they've been dreaming of (and planning for) for 50 years. It's going to get worse. 

We see you:  Andrew Bogut, AirTags, Uvalde County district attorney, Ohio State Rep. Jean Schmidt, Britney Griner's case, Biden aides not being prepared for the Roe decision

Ep 176: Roe Overturned

Jun 30, 2022

Jun 30, 2022

1hr 8 min

The dreaded day has come. The landmark Supreme Court case granting women the constitutional right to an abortion, Roe v. Wade, has been overturned after nearly 50 years. It was a 6-3 decision written by Justice Alito. This overtly political decision has ominous implications for not only for reproductive health access, but for constitutional protections for contraceptives, gay marriage, and intimate sexual conduct. It's a dark fucking time to be a woman or person with a uterus in the United States. 
 

No we see yous this week.
