Welcome back to Porch Talk!

Is the wedding industry just one big scam? This week, we break down the “wedding tax,” the emotional marketing tactics that convince you to spend way too much, and why it’s all just capitalism in a white dress. We're also exposing the shocking truth about mattress stores (turns out they’re not a money-laundering front)!

Plus, did you know pearls are basically oyster tonsil stones? We explore the glamorous yet gross truth. Also on deck: the real reason Chicago is called the Windy City (hint: it’s not the weather). We price-check heated toilet seats, celebrate the return of Yellowjackets, and discuss why Bhad Bhabie’s comeback might have the Kar-Jenners on edge.
