Summer is here, and so are so many of the things we love: berries, picnics, coastal grandmother vibes. Notably missing: our humans rights! What a rollercoaster! We discuss all this, plus Daily Harvest lentilgate, our rapidly deteriorating corporeal form, and the power of friendship bracelets. Featuring an appearance from a special guest: the IRS!
