Despite Rachael claiming it is March 8th, this episode was actually recorded on September 8th. The ladies discuss the recent devastation due to Hurricane Dorian, Trump’s “Sharpie-gate”, the Stanford Rape Victim coming forward, child marriage in the US, and the recent cases of wrongful deaths in private mental health hospitals. Also, a vaping illness update, why Idaho is like North Florida, and Lisa is scared of a beverage label.
