This week's episode covers Brianna LaPaglia v. Zach Bryan and the NDA that wasn't. The very salacious story has many twists and turns, and we talk about them all — along with some interesting background about the history of NDAs and how they've evolved since the Me Too movement.

We also talk about Martha Stewart. Why? Because everyone loves Martha.

But before you think this episode is far too deep for a carefree drive to work, fear not! We open with some fun personal life stories.
