First, the wives issue a warning about the insidious foot fondler currently on the loose in Lake Tahoe. Then they reminisce on the Sharknado movies, debate "eyebrow acting," conduct a brief acting workshop, and talk about what's going on with HBO's The Idol.

Intro/outro by Ben McSherry.

This week the wives are coming at you from Lake Tahoe! Their friends Joseph, THE Allen, Andre, and Cristina take turns answering two questions: 1) If you could adapt or re-adapt any IP into a movie or TV show, which would you choose? and 2) Which movie or show have you seen recently that disproves the "everything these days is unoriginal" lie? They also take breaks to discuss The Righteous Gemstones (bc Ariel made Robert watch the pilot), survivalist reality TV, and their favorite things they did in Tahoe.
