  Wholesome Erling Haaland, T&T wedding, Good Books, Mercury in Retrograde, + other news 15.07.2026 1t 12min

  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, a...

  Meta's Pervert Glasses, FIFA Feels, Alex Cooper's Drama, + Zombie Filler?! 06.07.2026 1t 18min

  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 com...

  Wellness Industrial Complex, Bible Burgers and Boner Bars, Another Bumble Fumble, + all the other good stuff 12.06.2026 1t 4min

  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....

  A.I. Delinquents, Skims + Cocaine, Canadian Breakups, Women's Health, and Boy Martinis 02.06.2026 1t 8min

  This week on Your Weekly Breakdown, Em and Cait celebrate accidental virality (hello new listeners!!), magical period blood, Skims-adjacent cocaine logistics, Hooters’ baffling family-friendly era, AI deepfake horror, Alberta’s “should we vote about voting?” breakup drama, and the miracle of a 63-year-old techno grandma. It’s science, shapewear, separatism, and boobs. So, honestly? Business as usual. Shownotes: Music: Cate CanningPeriod blood/menstrual fluid research Spain uterus preserv...
• 
  "Under-babied" and Moms.gov, Peptides, Fake celeb feuds, Women in Sports, + Yelling at men 23.05.2026 1t 16min

  Equal parts rage, laughs, and “are we actually living in a dystopian group project?” Em and Cait tackle everything from Dr. Oz declaring America “under-babied” and the unsettling rise of pregnancy surveillance to AI panic, wellness culture’s latest injectable obsession, and the world's increasingly smoky, thirsty future. They also champion women’s sports after Cycling Canada benches female athletes while keeping the men’s team rolling, celebrate the enduring magic of David Attenborough turnin...
• 
  Met Gala Hunger Games, AI Grifters, Energy Prices Soar, + Emotional Support Skin Care 14.05.2026 1t 3min

  Em is BACK! The Hunger Games starts feeling less like dystopian fiction and more like a live news feed as Em and Cait unpack the increasingly surreal overlap between billionaires, propaganda, AI grifters, collapsing institutions, and the Met Gala. From Bezos sponsoring fashion’s biggest night to self-help influencers trying to convince women they’ll be “left behind” if they don’t hand their financial data over to AI chatbots, the girls spiral delightfully through the chaos of modern life, whe...
• 
  White House Correspondents dinner, White Lotus updates, Elephant Justice, + Erosion of Social Niceties 07.05.2026 1t 24min

  A smart, slightly unhinged tour through media, memory, power, and the slow erosion of both environmental regulations and social niceties, with just enough jokes to keep you from spiralling. Cait and guest co-host Jill Clark chat lost media, unreliable memory, and the unsettling realization that some things might actually be gone forever (including, tragically, a niche aquarium puppet show). Also: political theatre, a deeply skeptical unpacking of the alleged active sh00ter situation at the Wh...
• 
  A 12-year engagement, Tinder Trap, Tradwife Time Machine, and Doug Ford's new jet 05.05.2026 1t 22min

  Two women, one podcast, and absolutely no respect for the social contract of air travel. This week, Cait and guest co-host Jill cover the elite art of using Tinder as Yelp abroad, the chaos of surprise Ashley Madison accounts, why a 12-year engagement might just be a relationship hostage situation, and the new fruit wash that could save your berries and your bank account. Plus: tradwife thrillers, Anne Hathaway’s long-overdue cultural redemption, Doug Ford’s private jet disaster, and a ...

  Penis Facials, Moon Denialists, Cringe!, and (yo!) the Clit Map Finally Dropped 26.04.2026 55min

  Fish sperm facials, clitoral cartography, collapsing dictatorships, fake moon conspiracies, and a bird in a homemade submarine. This week, Em and Cait unpack the absurdity of modern life, from anti-aging hysteria and Gen Z’s fear of cringe, to why competency is the new porn, and democracy might still have a pulse!! Weird, funny, and somehow deeply hopeful?! Shownotes: nine inch nails new albumtrump and pope leonew hungarian PMtrump at UFC fight while his war on iran continuesiran and haitisal...
• 
  Missing Scientists?!, Nutella in Space, Polymarket Bets on War: the Rise of the Dystopian Death Market 19.04.2026 58min

  This episode is a chaotic, funny mix of pop culture, space wonder, and “are we okay as a society?” moments. Study the bizarre pH fact (beer and vaginas!) and dive into Bravo drama and Coachella chatter, before landing on the genuine awe of the Artemis II mission. Also: a string of missing scientists sparks uneasy curiosity, and a deep dive into prediction betting markets reveals people are literally gambling on human lives: grim, dystopian, and very real. The girls wrap with candid reflection...
• 
  Fart Gate, the Second Wife Economy, and Learning Personal Boundaries 12.04.2026 1t 13min

  This week, Cait and Em cover everything from $1,000 theatre outings and elite family vacation strategy (built-in kids club, obviously) to the deeply unserious state of Canadian politics—yes, including Fart Gate. Caitlin wins a CBC comedy panel (as she should), Emily pitches a documentary on Anne Hathaway’s press tour (greenlit in our minds), and together we unpack why women are now… quietly managing their husbands’ job searches. Also on the docket: billionaires buying forests (a win? a warnin...
• 
  Pierre Poilievre on Joe Rogan, Mormon Wives Drama, + the Collapse of Modern Society (Fun!) with guest Jill Clark 03.04.2026 1t 39min

  This week, Cait and guest co-host Jill Clark enter our political curiosity era (against our will) as Pierre Poilievre goes on Joe Rogan and… behaves? They unpack the surprisingly competent PR glow-up no one asked for, plus what it says about Canadian politics getting just a little too interesting. Then, because Emily is away, enjoy some Reality TV chat!! Chaos, crime, and soft-swinging collide as The Bachelorette implodes in real time—because nothing says “ready for love” like a pending assau...

  Content, Capitalism, and the Cost of Being Alive w/ guest co-host Jill Clark 30.03.2026 1t 29min

  Excuse the audio, we did our best! Tune in for a Great Yap Session with guest co-host Jill Clark, standing in while Em is out drowning in the chaos of life. This week it's wide-ranging (and very correct) episode on modern life: how to game travel points, dress like you tried (without trying), and survive the Oscars discourse. We get into influencer creep on red carpets, the economics of having kids, the disappearance of third spaces, and why libraries deserve more respect—and funding. Plus, a...
• 
  Hockey culture, Burnt bangs, Olympic Village after dark, and the usual newsy chaos 10.03.2026 1t 7min

  This week: burnt bangs, horny Olympians, hockey culture discourse, and a geopolitical crisis. You know, the usual light fare. Emily and Caitlin dive into Elliotte Friedman's poorly-chosen metaphor and the real problem with hockey culture, why the Olympic Village might be the world’s most athletic dating app, the strange politics of daylight saving time, and a few headlines that range from adorable to deeply alarming. Come for the chaos, stay for the cultural commentary. Shownotes: bc time cha...
• 
  Olympic Cheaters, Year of the Unhinged Horse, the Death of Privacy, and Let's All Go Full Bush 02.03.2026 1t 7min

  This week, we’re limping in with workout injuries and leaving with a full-blown existential crisis. Emily and Caitlin unpack everything from Meta’s terrifying facial-recognition glasses and Canada accidentally investing your retirement in Elon’s chaos machine, to Olympic-level cheating scandals, pickleball fights among the elderly, and a possible 12-year-old future dictator. Plus: why improv kills your inner critic, why Cuba is running out of gas (literally), and why modern beauty standards m...
• 
  Revenge Plots, Ozempic Wars, Fake Crying AI, and NASA’s Leaky Rocket 19.02.2026 1t

  Cold hands, hot takes: this week, Emily and Caitlin spiral from frozen Great Lakes to spicy revenge plots, unpacking everything from NASA’s delayed moon mission and Denmark’s sexy red streetlights to AI avatars in true-crime docs (hard pass) and the deeply unsettling reality of death cap mushrooms. They debate whether elders deserve grace or consequences, question sketchy Ozempic knockoffs, and remind us that creativity, like revenge, requires patience and a good notes app. It’s your weekly b...
• 
  Epstein + Peter Attia + Bill Gates' STDs, Baby gene editing, Canadian Politics, and What Women do when you corner them 12.02.2026 55min

  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...
• 
  Friction Maxxing, the Slow Death of Objective Reality, Exploding Trees, and Happy 50th Ep!! 06.02.2026 1t 1min

  This week’s episode (their 50th!!) is a full-chaos sampler platter: birthday party debriefs, peak petty relationship moments, and the new life philosophy of friction maxxing—aka choosing mild inconvenience on purpose so your brain doesn’t rot. Cait and Em unpack why the internet is making truth feel optional, what’s actually going on with ICE and the Olympics (spoiler: not what the headlines want you to think), and why TikTok moderation is starting to feel… ominous. Then: exploding trees, mir...
• 
  Davos + WEF analysis, Carney's middle powers, Toxic mom groups + who to platform, and Swearing as self-care 28.01.2026 1t

  This week the girls kick things off with a surprisingly serious (and genuinely hopeful) deep dive on Mark Carney's Davos mic-drop with their first-ever political insider guest Jill Clark, and shift to the usual business talking about naked FaceTimes, strong canned cocktails, and a four-and-a-half-star book review that spirals into why Goodreads is emotionally unsafe. They also consider swearing as a productivity tool, toxic mom groups, celebrity oversharing, platforming debates, and why sayin...
• 
  Guest Briana Buckmaster on Community, Grief, Romance, + Hard truths, + the week's headlines 16.01.2026 1t 6min

  Community is the theme, chaos is the method. With Cait away, Em is joined by Briana Buckmaster for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly tender conversation about grief, art, perimenopause energy, and the radical power of doing absolutely nothing together. They unpack why women in midlife want to be left alone (lovingly), why storytelling matters more than ever, how tech and algorithms are flattening culture, and why the egg—not the sperm—actually chooses (iconic). Along the way: ...
