August 28, 2025 Culture Wars: From Cracker Barrel to the College Classroom
Meghan and Miranda are back at the desk and ready to close out summer with a bang—even if it means Miranda’s entering her annual cold-and-flu season (yay, school germs!).
They’re catching up on the wildest headlines of the week, including:
Cracker Barrel’s logo drama: The internet revolted, the brand backpedaled, and Trump had thoughts.
Taylor Swift gets Trump's blessing: Kind of. He weighs in on Swift and Travis Kelce... with a classic Trump twist.
The student double life: A new study says college students are pretending to be more progressive than they are to appease professors and boost their grades. Meghan and Miranda bring in Citizen McCain’s College Associate, Russell, to give us the real scoop on campus culture.
It’s political whiplash, internet chaos, and hot takes galore—post-summer break energy fully activated.

August 07, 2025 Summer Break, Parenting Battles & Annabelle’s Parting Gift
Meghan and Miranda are heading out on a quick summer break, but not before getting ahead of everyone's favorite rumor. No, they didn’t have a falling out. And if they ever do? Miranda promises a live couples therapy episode with all the messy details (you’re welcome).
Before they pack their bags, they dive into the viral debate over Gentle Parenting vs. FAFO Parenting, joined by columnist and mom-of-three Karol Markowicz for her unfiltered take.
Also on the docket:
Elizabeth Warren’s eyebrow-raising endorsement of Zohran Mamdani
Jim Acosta interviewing an AI-generated Parkland victim (yes, that really happened)
Rumors swirling around Gayle King and Howard Stern’s possible “retirements”
And of course, they couldn’t leave you without a little dose of Annabelle. Is the spirit of Lorraine Warren now haunting Matt Rife and Elton Castee? Meghan and Miranda absolutely think so.
This one’s a sendoff filled with hot takes, ghost gossip, and promises of chaos to come. See you in two weeks!

August 05, 2025 Cursed Dolls and Covid Damage: America’s Mental Health Check
Meghan and Miranda kick off with one of the wildest headlines yet: comedian Matt Rife has officially bought the Warren Occult Museum. Yes, the one that houses Annabelle the haunted doll. They’ve got thoughts (and maybe a few warnings).
Then, the legendary Dr. Drew Pinsky joins for a deep dive into the psychological state of America post-2020. From the lingering effects of Covid-era fear to the unsettling surge in AI porn and hyper-potent marijuana use among young people, Dr. Drew brings sharp insight and serious perspective.
It’s part horror story, part health wake-up call... and 100% can’t-miss.

July 31, 2025 Tsunamis, ‘Good Jeans,’ and Trump’s Latest Bizarre Epstein Excuse
Meghan and Miranda kick off the show relieved that Miranda didn’t get swept away by the tsunami warnings on the West Coast, but the internet drama? That’s another story. They dive into Sydney Sweeney’s viral American Eagle ad and the online obsession with her “good jeans.”
Then, Daily Mail’s Nikki Schwab joins to unpack Trump’s latest twist on the Epstein fallout... including a wild claim that he “stole” women from Mar-a-Lago. Also on deck: Cory Booker’s Senate floor meltdown where he takes aim at his own party, and that chaotic, candid, and kinda confusing Hunter Biden interview. It’s a wave of politics, pop culture, and everything in between.

July 29, 2025 Bring Back Barkley, Cancel the Capes & What the Hell Is Up with Ghislaine?
Meghan and Miranda kick off this supersized episode with a rant we can all get behind: enough with the superhero movies already! They share their love for original films like 'Eddington' and their frustration that no one’s seeing them (seriously, why is it only playing at 10pm?).
Then, Ethan Strauss, host of Random Offense and writer of House of Strauss, joins to talk sports, culture, and why we may never see larger-than-life legends like Barkley, Shaq, or Rodman again. His takes are sharp, unfiltered, and full of surprises.
Later, journalist and bestselling author Vicky Ward stops by for an exclusive look at the Idaho Four case. She shares details from her new book, emotional moments from the courtroom, and what the media keeps missing. Plus: fresh Epstein reporting, what’s next for Ghislaine Maxwell, and whether a pardon might actually be in play.
Movies, media, legends, and legal drama... it’s a packed episode you don’t want to miss.

July 24, 2025 Gisele Fetterman Gets Real: Family, Firefighting & Life Beyond Politics
In this rare long-form interview, Gisele Fetterman sits down with Meghan for an unfiltered conversation about her remarkable journey, from undocumented immigrant to community leader and outspoken advocate.
She shares what it’s really like being married to a U.S. Senator, raising kids in the public eye, and why she’s never had political ambitions of her own. Gisele opens up about her work as a volunteer firefighter, the intense media attention she’s faced, and the growing speculation about whether her husband, Senator John Fetterman, could be eyeing a 2028 presidential run.
It’s thoughtful, unexpected, and deeply personal. Don’t miss this one.

July 22, 2025 Colbert Canceled, Trump Transformed & The Doll That Won’t Die
Meghan and Miranda kick off the show reacting to the bombshell news: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is coming to an end. Miranda’s not shocked... she’s been calling it for weeks and breaks down exactly how she saw it coming.
Then journalist and friend of the show Salena Zito joins to talk about her gripping new book, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland. She shares how that moment changed the country, the media, and possibly Trump himself, and why the press still refuses to face the truth.
Finally, the girls serve up a fresh Annabelle update (because of course the demon doll is still causing chaos), and side-eye RFK Jr. for hiking Camelback Mountain during a brutal Arizona heatwave.
From late-night exits to high-stakes political shifts, it’s a jam-packed episode you don’t want to miss.

July 17, 2025 Storms, Scandals & the Demon Doll That Won’t Quit
Meghan and Miranda kick things off venting about the gnarly East Coast weather that nearly derailed Meghan’s trip to Pennsylvania for a big upcoming interview (spoiler: she made it, but not without a wild drive).
Then Fox News Contributor and podcast host Mary Katharine Ham drops in for a fast-paced chat mixing politics and pop culture - from the never-ending Epstein saga to Trump’s new claim that the files were faked by Comey and Obama (sure, Jan).
Also on deck:
The Democratic Party’s approval ratings keep sinking
Jennifer Love Hewitt is hit with cruel online body shaming
Kelly Ripa overshares a little too much
And... Annabelle is still on the loose.
The girls close the show with sad news about Annabelle's handler, Dan Rivera, and a plea: it’s time to end the Devil’s on the Run Tour and lock that cursed doll up... for good!

July 15, 2025 The Epstein Blackout & Other Scary Stories
Meghan and Miranda are still fired up over the bizarre, bipartisan blackout surrounding the Missing Epstein Files, but first, they have to talk about actual ghosts. Miranda had a haunting at home over the weekend and drags her husband on the mic to explain the creepy chaos.
Then, Texas radio host Ben Ferguson joins with an update on the flood recovery efforts and shares what people can actually do to help. But when the convo turns to Epstein and Pam Bondi, sparks fly... and Meghan and Ben don’t exactly see eye to eye.
Finally, deep-state detective Kristen “Colonel Kurtz" Lacefield storms in with theories, receipts, and fury after President Trump’s cryptic shoutout to his “boys and gals.” She’s got fresh MAGA-world intel and zero patience for the media spin.
It’s a wild one — haunted houses, political coverups, and a whole lot of fire.
