We also cover the quiet removal of testing that protects consumers from asbestos levels in talc makeup, as well as the forever chemical being unleashed on our produce, plus the removal of air pollution monitoring.

We wrap with everything we watched this week: Gilmore Girls, The Family...

On this episode, we catch up on what we’ve been up to since we last cheers’d a week and a half ago: Christmas crafts for Danielle, and a Disneyland adventure for Dami and fam.

Then we dive into What The Fuck Trump News: The Trump admin suing California over Prop 50, 20th boat strike, health insurance skyrocketing, newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails (BUBBA?!), Megyn Kelly defending ped*philia, MTG announcing her resignation, “Quiet, Piggy”, Trump calling for Dems to be un-alived, and Trump’s big crush on Mamdani.

On this episode, we discuss everything from the Halloween haps to the ongoing government shutdown chaos. After weekend recaps, we jump into What The Fuck Trump News.

Over in pop culture, we dive into Cardi B’s court case (and all of the hilarious memes), this seasons...

But it’s not all doom and gl...

On this episode, we dive into the absolute chaos surrounding the Epstein files — one moment they “don’t exist,” and the next, Congress is voting on whether to protect their release. We’ve got updates on minors getting taken to Alligator Alcatraz, Trump’s smoking gun birthday letter to Epstein, and the suspiciously timed distractions the administration is rolling out.

Then, we get into AI world domination (coming to you in 2037?), the Annabelle doll allegedly taking out its handler, and Jax Taylor "leaving" The Valley — sure, Jan. Plus, the Coldplay affair that's got everyone talking.

Lastly, we cov...

Then we shift gears to discuss Dodgers player Andrew Toles and the importance...

On this episode, we discuss No Kings Day Protests across the nation (and our favorite protest signs) and the Army's 250th Anniversary Parade (aka DJT's excuse to have a $45million birthday parade). We also talk about the shooting of the two lawmakers in alleged political fueled murder, toddlers representing themselves in immigration court, and all things ICE (FUCK ICE). We chat about Candace Cameron's stance on watching horror movies and drinking Liquid Death being linked to demons entering your home and early deaths, Justin Baldoni's defamation dropped, Rules on Kindness and how to use AI for good. Lastly, we...
