About this listen

This week, Hilary and Simone are not feeling chill, because the world is basically a dumpster fire with WiFi. Things did get a bit more serious than normal, but when reality feels like a bad satire, what else can you do? So, naturally, we decided to unpack some of history’s greatest hits and today’s worst takes—while sipping on some liquor from Tanzania, because why not? Cheers.

We start with life before penicillin—when a simple paper cut could turn into your villain origin story. Then, we check in on Elon Musk, who is once again proving that having billions of dollars doesn’t make you a genius. Buying Twitter instead of solving world hunger? Groundbreaking. We also discuss Liberation Day and how Trump’s “liberation board” is giving strong Denny’s breakfast menu energy—except instead of pancakes, it’s serving up chaos.

Lobotomies make an appearance, because honestly… should we get one? Would it help? We weigh the pros, the cons, and whether a few jabs to the prefrontal cortex might be a relief at this point. And, of course, we take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the men of history who so graciously allowed women to vote and have passports. Wow. So kind. So selfless.

If you love sharp takes, unhinged history, and coping with the downfall of civilization through millennial humor (and a stiff drink), this episode is for you. Super Definitely Not Problematic—the podcast that pairs existential dread with bottomless sarcasm, because if the world’s gonna burn, we might as well roast some marshmallows. Listen now before Elon ruins Spotify too.
