Show Notes

On this Halloween-themed episode, we discuss the latest chaos in What The Fuck Trump News — from the mysterious bunker under the now-demolished east wing of the White House and Trump’s wild declaration that he doesn’t need Congress anymore, to him blaming Democrats for canceling SNAP benefits.

In other news, we get into David Harbour and Lily Allen’s savage breakup timing (right before the Stranger Things press tour!) and her epic new album that puts Taylor Swift's lyrics to shame (butt plugs, lube, trojans, oh my!), and the house-cleaning robot that might just be our new best friend (or potential enemy).

We’re also sippin’ on some good news with the Portland coffee shop raising over $86k to support folks losing SNAP benefits, and a Phoenix principal paying for students’ lunches out of his own pocket. Faith in humanity: partially restored (now, if only the administration could follow suit).

And of course, we wrap up with What We Watched: Vampire Diaries, the premiere episode of It: Welcome to Derry, Alien Earth, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Nobody Wants This.

Halloween vibes, political nightmares, and a few acts of kindness — it’s all in this week’s episode so Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us!
