      Join us today as we do a deep dive into the horrific case of Lori Vallow, who is currently on trial in Idaho for the murder of her two children, JJ and Tylee and conspiracy to commit murder of her husband Chad Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell. 
      We discuss how this seemingly typical mother of three became entangled in religious extremism and end of days fringe groups, which led to delusions of being an exalted being who is tasked with removing the dark spirits that have taken over bodies of loved ones, and leading the 144,000 to the second coming.

    • 158: Pick a Lane, Leo
      This week the gals catch up with some of pop culture's hot topics:
      Coachella: where people wait two hours for gross nachos and you can't find a port-a-potty anywhere. Megan King helped Lauren's Coachella FOMO evaporate with an all to real account of the hellscape that is a music festival. 
      Princess Kate's "deep regret" and the real reason why Meghan isn't attending the King's coronation next month. 
      Kravis's wedding special on Hulu, which had some highs (gorgeous photos and a fantastic yacht) and some lows (impersonal toasts "You guys are the best" and MGK's performance).
      Why Leonardo DiCaprio needs to pick a lane: Is he saving the environment with Greta Thunburg or rocking a gold chain at Coachella?
