Rachel’s wedding in Puerto Vallarta is less than two months away… so naturally, the headlines decided to get dramatic. We break down the recent cartel updates, what’s actually happening and whether Rachel needs to emotionally prepare for planning a fourth wedding.

Then we shift from real crime lords to fictional ones. Megan threw a Star Wars birthday party complete with homemade costumes, including Rachel as Jabba the Hutt and Megan as Queen Amidala.

And finally, we address an important societal question: Why do men take so long in the bathroom? What is happening in there? Is it peace? Is it avoidance? Is it a second life?

Engagement anxiety, galactic glamor and toilet investigations. Just another week.
