The ladies start off the podcast reflecting on the trash fire that is the current state of affairs in the USA, using @grantegibbs’ very important commentary to summarize their feelings on the matter (it rhymes with DUCK MICE), before an abrupt vibe shift to the videos they are trying to numb their brains with, like exchange students reacting to the recent snowpocalypse (@italiangirl1130). Dena’s FYP includes @lizlaughlovenyc reacting to Jim Cantori going to New York and a pasta advice video by @shaneyanceyauthor that Catalina didn’t actually watch but still decides to have opinions on.
