Epstein + Peter Attia + Bill Gates’ STDs, Baby gene editing, Canadian Politics, and What Women do when you corner them

This episode is a full-spectrum emotional workout, and things escalate quickly. It’s silly, smart, unhinged in the best way, and deeply human—basically the news, but without pretending everything is fine.

Em and Cait bounce between fake celebrity photos, Cait's time at Second City, the Grammys jumping networks, Trevor Noah poking the political bear, and Bad Bunny having the most relatable anxiety spiral in award-show history. Then it’s straight into the Epstein files (allegedly!).

They take a detour into Canadian politics, the suspiciously glowing Rotten Tomatoes scores of a certain propaganda-adjacent film, and the quiet terror of realizing journalists may no longer be safe.

To balance out the dread: 3-flippered sea turtles, wiener-mobile races, dog shows, goalie fights, drag queens being sued for a dollar, and a historical lesson on what happens when women are given zero options (spoiler: poison).
