"Under-babied" and Moms.gov, Peptides, Fake celeb feuds, Women in Sports, + Yelling at men 23.05.2026 1ч 16мин

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 1ч 3мин

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 1ч 24мин

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 1ч 22мин

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 55мин

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 58мин

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 1ч 13мин

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 1ч 39мин

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 1ч 29мин

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 1ч 7мин

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 1ч 7мин

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 1ч

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 55мин

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 1ч 1мин

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 1ч

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 1ч 6мин

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: ...

2026 identity crisis, Pegging, Elon's Grok is undressing minors, + some good health news 08.01.2026 1ч 13мин

It’s 2026, we’re ten days in, and already debating whether being called a “podcaster” is a slur. Em + Cait unpack New Year identity crises, MILF discourse, and why softness might be the most terrifying resolution of all. From hockey romance TV debates and the rise of pegging (yes, really), to AI logos that all look like buttholes, tech gone feral, vaccine chaos, and genuinely hopeful science breakthroughs, this episode pinballs between horny, horrified, and cautiously optimistic. Plus: why yo...

Strippers Save Xmas, What to read, End of near burnout + 2026 Goal Setting 24.12.2025 1ч 6мин

This week on Your Weekly Breakdown, Em + Caitlin spiral (gently) from burnout and big-fat book stacks into airport empathy, 2-star Apple reviews, + the shocking discovery that Nantucket is absolutely ripping cocaine. Along the way: strippers save Xmas, a German Shepherd eats $100 underwear, and AI content is officially declared SLOP. There’s joy, grief, French girl crushes, rogue Turning Point USA Google Forms, accidental witchcraft, and a surprisingly moving reminder that most people are sti...

Heated Rivalry(!!), Critical Thinking collapse, Death of the personal brand, + How to get over feeling embarrassed 21.12.2025 1ч 13мин

Running on fumes, rage, and one ridiculously embarrassing story, this episode of Your Weekly Breakdown ricochets from feral morning energy to a surprisingly sharp cultural autopsy: Diddy documentaries, horny hockey romances, collapsing math skills, news from TikTok, AI deepfakes, banned words, trad-wife hypocrisy, digital detoxes, hockey canada, data centres, pipeline politics, and—mercifully—a horny left-coiled snail who finally found love. It’s chaotic, funny, occasionally furious, an...

We're Apple Podcasts' Best of 2025?! + RFK's bad science, digital affairs, and recos for the week! 01.12.2025 1ч 8мин

In this week's episode, Em and Cait spiral (lovingly) through everything from Rosalía’s divine-chaotic new album to the absolute fever dream of being named one of Apple Podcasts’ Best of 2025. Between norovirus accusations, kids listening to Eminem, chaotic holiday invites, U.S. political nonsense, Meta being Meta, cult documentaries, loneliness, wandering culture, and whether bars should ban solo drinkers, the girls deliver their signature blend of silly, smart, and mildly unhinged. It’s con...
