The REAL Reason Why Eggs So Expensive? Plus, A Subway Birth & The TikTok Creep Under Investigation


Listen Later

The gals are back, and this week, it’s all about eggs, scams, and the miracle of life on public tranportation. 

That’s right - someone stole $40K worth of eggs (how?!), a woman gave birth on the NYC subway (iconic), and TikTok’s worst pickup artist is now an international menace. Meanwhile, Trader Joe’s might be selling live chickens, and Estonia just threw the pettiest Eurovision-style breakup party ever to cut ties with Russia’s power grid.

We get into the real reason eggs are stupidly expensive (hint: bird flu + capitalism), why a subway baby is now legally required to run for NYC mayor, and how a TikTok creep has gotten so bad that even the Australian government is involved. Plus, Estonia’s dramatic exit from Russia’s energy grid - complete with dance music - because apparently, that’s how geopolitics works now.

No, you can’t buy a single egg at a bodega (seriously, people are selling Lucy eggs now), but you can watch this episode and get all the weirdest news you didn’t know you needed. Enjoy!
