Cait and Em are asking the important questions: why are AI dudes trying to convince religious figures that your chatbot has a soul? Why are men gambling on human misery? WTF is goblintimacy? The girls take on the boys' club of comedy, Silicon Valley's latest existential crisis, and the baffling world of biohacking before turning our attention to more pressing matters: the Real Housewives divorce epidemic, the rise of goblintimacy, and whether your ex-husband should officiate your next wedding...

Your fav unhinged hosts Em and Cait talk World Cup, Broadway nostalgia, podcast empire drama, AI surveillance, Meta glasses, zombie filler, mosquito feminism, HPV self-screenings, climate dread, and why women are apparently never allowed to be unlikable in peace.

They also discuss Bumble's new AI dating assistant, FDA-recalled "sexual enhancement" chocolates, women's hockey victories, comfort food nostalgia, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is absolutely nothing at all. It's your usual mix of humour, skepticism, and side quests....
