This week on the pod the ladies catch up with the 19-year-old arch-nemesis of Elon Musk, Jack Sweeney! Jack spent his quarantine taking exams and aggravating Elon with his Twitter/X account @ElonJet that published open-source information on Elon's private jet's flight records. This transformed from a hilarious internet squabble to a historically notable free speech issue when Elon banned Jack and every reporter who dared to mention his tracker from the platform (and threatened to sue him).

This week the ladies are talking about the Bravo drama that doesn't go on camera, the latest push for unionization by Bethenny Frankel.

It's FOOTBALL season and it was pretty obvious we were going to talk about this story. This week we're tackling The Blind Side scandal where Sandra Bullock (or the Tuohy family, whatever) fake adopted a young man, made a movie making fun of him, and then he went on to win a Superbowl. Michael Oher is now furious with them for putting him in a conservatorship rather than adopting him truly and the whole world is in on the "family's" tea. We also take on the story of FIFA president, Luis Rubiales,

Johnny F'ing Football - this week the girls are talking about football star Johnny Manziel and his climb to TMZ level fame and unfortunate fall. This guy took the NCAA on making fistfuls of cash signing "illegal" autographs and partying like a rockstar. What a boss. He then got into drugs and partying and domestic violence (yikes!).

2023/08/02

Elon's done it again! Goodbye tweeting, hello Xeeting? The girls are talking about Elon's totally not ketamine-fueled decision to change the name of the old bird machine, Twitter, to X.com. And let's just say this transition went far from smoothly. In the course of one week, Elon fought with the San Francisco Police Department, the residential neighbors across from X.com's SF HQ, Stephen King, and the former @X user on the bird app. Laura goes back in time and explains why X.com is such a sore

A-holes in the Ivy League? You don’t say. We are SHOCKED. Mae and Laura chat about an unassuming janky jobs board for economics majors, ‘Economics Jobs Market Rumors’ that has been overrun by some unsavory characters that make Jason Aldean's music look progressive. Turns out, if you give people anonymity, they aren’t very moral - who knew? Oh! And recent IP addresses show that the call is coming from inside the Ivy League…. Isn’t that fun?
