Your Weekly Breakdown

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. Plus, some excellent books, a little parenting wisdom, spooky season, and a man who'll happily tell your enemies to f*ck off at your funeral.
It's silly, occasionally smart, and proof that reality remains stranger than anything we could make up.

The girls are back, baby! And somehow, the world got even weirder while Cait + Em were out of studio. Oh, btw, all shownotes and links to the recommendations are now available by signing up for their newly launched Patreon. 
This week, Cait + Em tackle Ivy League frat boy scandals, Donald's inexplicable beef with Canada, and the very important question of whether Mark Carney is a political heartthrob or a well-tailored red flag. To get the full picture, the girls called political correspondent Jill Clark to fill them in. Also: Ed Sheeran finds himself in a geopolitical pickle, an 82-year-old Burnaby politician is preparing for the apocalypse, and apparently your salt grinder is trying to kill you.
Plus, we're talking pirate queens, Nancy Meyers season, nipple hairs, and why The Real Housewives might actually be the most emotionally intelligent women on television.
It's politics, pop culture, female rage, and a healthy dose of existential dread. Season three is off to a perfectly unhinged start.

Season 2 is going out exactly as nature intended: an awards-show hangover, a deeply unnecessary amount of TSwift and Travis Kelce's wedding discourse, and the horrifying discovery that endometriosis can apparently travel.
Em + Cait wrap up their biggest season yet by plotting their summer transformations—de-Googling, finishing long-abandoned books, and touching grass. There are always enough books + music to carry you through August, and the girls investigate nano bubbles, ancient axolotls, and the majestic Viking energy of Erling Haaland. Per usual, they cover wellness and wacky news that will have you chuckling.
Touch some grass. See you for Season 3!

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.
It’s silly, smart, slightly chaotic, and somehow covers Rent, Ray-Bans, corpse fat, Ottawa police, Olivia Wilde, and the emotional support of yelling “get the Flock off our streets.” Come for the chitty chatty, stay for the oddly comforting reminder that you are not, in fact, losing touch with reality.

Em and Cait tackle everything from immigration detention protests and Toronto airport expansion plans to the latest wellness industry grift promising to cure women's stress with supplements (lol). 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. Pull up a chair.
