  • 99 Problems and Misogyny’s One, January Woes and Parenting Lows

    🎄 Festive Chaos Incoming! 🎄

    The girls are still riding the holiday spirit, but this episode dives into some heavy and hot topics before circling back to their usual hilarious chaos.


    Breaking News: Phoebe kicks things off with a fiery discussion about shocking allegations involving Jay Z (Sean Carter) and P Diddy (Sean Combs), accused of raping a 13-year-old girl. Phoebe connects this to the broader issue of misogyny in the Hip-Hop industry—a culture she loves for its energy and creativity but finds deeply troubling for its rampant objectification and degradation of women. Why do misogynistic lyrics—ones that reduce women to objects or glorify exploitation—continue to dominate the charts in 2024? The girls explore whether the normalization of these harmful messages has allowed such behaviors to fester. How do we make change when this toxicity is celebrated as acceptable and even cool?


    New Year, New Debates: The conversation takes a lighter turn as the ladies share their resolutions. Phoebe passionately defends Dry January as the ultimate reset, while Anna rolls her eyes at one-month wellness trends. Who’s got it right? Where do YOU stand?


    Obviously, the fun doesn’t stop there: expect heated takes on Sex and the City, the struggles (and joys?) of having kids, and some wild Reddit drama to round it all out. It’s a mix of hard-hitting truths and laugh-out-loud moments to kick off your 2024. Tune in for this extra-chaotic episode and let the girls know what YOU want to hear in 2025!
