Happy Tuesday, gang! The team hasn't seen each other in a while because of tour so we come in, catch up, and get to the sh*ts! While Rory & Mal were holding down the fort in the 6, and Julian was in the Carolinas trying to asses the damage done by his GOAT (15:40), Demaris was in New York at an event called 'Bottle Wars', causing the team to pass well-deserved judgement over her and what she does in her free time (21:00). Speaking of judgement, is Martha Stewart a bad person (25:40)? The iconic businesswoman has a documentary coming out October 30th, and in it she discusses what led to the dissolution of her marriage - including some secrets she kept for over 30 years. We discuss some other things we're currently watching, including Love Is Blind, and consider bringing Clay back as a correspondent (36:00). In other media news, the democrats put on an advertising masterclass (insert sarcasm) with their latest voting ad (39:58). The team is split on how they feel about it. Kendrick sat down with SZA for a chat for Harper's Bazaar, and we discuss some of the things both artists said that touched us personally (54:45). Julian is over the moon about a new Tyler project that's coming next week, we review his latest snippet, and give our usual predictions on what we expect and hope for with his forthcoming release (1:13:19). We have voicemails! The first is a guy whose lying a** ex won't leave his momma and church home alone (1:31:10), and the second (trigger warning: STI'S, Depression, self-harm) is from a guy who tried to fornicate his way through depression, and ended up catching an incurable STI (1:53:06).
