Not Right Now

RuPaul Fracks

Listen Later

This week we're talking about the delicate art of making everything toxic for your children (Whole Foods? Ruined. Florida? The worst. Every public figure? Probably a Nazi.), how to tell kids bad news on their level ("Grandma is cooked"), and whether you're still a trad wife if you do all the trad wife things but hate it.

Also: the polar vortex, Apollo 13 family rankings, and our ability to be a bummer about anything.
