They're baaaack! The girls fangirl the woman in charge of MI6 and chat about the breast cancer vaccine, and cover the Diddy verdict and the ins and outs of the Hockey Canada SA trial.

Caitlin and Emily lament about tennis elbow and construction season, and laugh about men freeing the nipple and Netanyahu nominating Donald for a Nobel Peace Prize. GTFO. Also, someone tell Marjorie to stop with her problematic weather conspiracies.

Of course, Emily yammers on about tech, including the companies who spent a ton on AI to 'save money' that now have to hire humans to fix AI's problems. Also, Denmark introduced a new copyright act that might help with the wave of AI bots stealing content creators' work.

Pull up a chair and let's catch up.

Cait and Em are back to hang out and shoot the breeze! This week, they chat about how millennial women are out-earning millennial men and how (!!) they're also still shoulder the bulk of household work. Not shocked.

The girls chat about periods, PMDD, whether or not "traditions" are worth it, and why the way we're thinking about fitness is all wrong.

A recent Open AI model tells users whatever they want to hear, and there is no easy way to parent in the age of technology.

Emily asks "what is something that improved the quality of your life so much that you wish you'd been doing it forever?" and Caitlin has a few of her own "would you rather" questions up her sleeve, too.

In addition, the girls cover Iceland political news, Nashville ICE chaos, a new scientific discovery, Traitors-themed birthday parties, rant about party etiquette, and why Emily would NEVER borrow a duvet from a neighbour (EW!).

You'll feel like you're curled up on the couch with your friends chatting about life and current events.

• millennial women out-earning millennial men
• crunchy teen influencers
• kat zhang we are thinking about fitness all wrong
