In today's episode solo ep, Jenny & Nicole get into how good Maddie's Secret is, if Nicole is actually memorable or just fat, how making fun of people misspeaking is the ultimate Millenial humor, Jeremy Strong's wig in the Social Reckoning, which Valley stars should be on the pod (Benji?!?), getting disregulated thinking about Drew Sidora, and if Jenny is too sensitive for the Hacks finale.

From the publisher's feed
How Were U Brainwashed? is a podcast hosted by your new best friends, Nicole Spiezio and Jenny Donheiser, that asks guests just that. What did you grow up thinking was true that…
From religion to Jersey Shore, from Monogamy to Pepé Le Pew, the pod tackles women stuff, fat/body stuff (Nicole is fat! Trendy!!!), mental health stuff (you know your girls are in therapy), and a fair share of lowbrow pop culture (hiiiiii Real Housewives).
