1:01:36We're days away from the TikTok ban being decided and Trump's inauguration --- Sami & V share how they're trying to take care of themselves, even if it just means lots of sugar and caffeine. Mourning the final days, V talks about what the future of TikTok could look like if it continues to exist, but no matter what, it'll probably never be the same. Then, last week Mark Zuckerberg went on the Joe Rogan show, and it's giving Sandra Dee at the sleepover vibes. From replacing fact checking with "community notes," to saying he wants to bring masculinity back to Facebook, the exchange between the two just felt...awkward. How much longer will millionaires like Zuckerberg hang out with the MAGA group, when they don't have to pretend anymore? Read Emily Amick's Substack - Why are we all feeling broken?

59:05Kicking off the holiday season, V gives us a recap of the press Christmas party at Vice President Harris' home, and discusses the state of traditional media companies amidst massive layoffs. Next, we get the latest updates on the TikTok ban and potential sale. Sami and V also dive into the details of a New York Times article about Hunter Biden and his ex-girlfriend, including their significant age gap. Then, a Jane Doe who previously sued Diddy over rape allegations refiled the lawsuit over the weekend, adding that Jay-Z was at the party and participated in the assault. Is this just an attempt at extortion, or is there more to these accusations? (And what might Beyoncé have to say about it?) We end the episode by examining what we know about the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter and speculate on the meaning behind the Monopoly money and his love of fast food.

While not comprehensive, and people may disagree, V shares their thoughts on the steps trans & non-binary people should consider taking. We also address policies under the Trump administration that may lead to increased discrimination against trans individuals under the 14th Amendment. Then, we introduce the first of Trump's Cabinet of Crazies : Stephen Miller. Sami breaks down Miller's upbringing including his involvement in the Duke lacrosse scandal, that time he threw a tantrum and flipped over a desk, and his work with Jeff Sessions. Sami & V end the episode by debating whether Trump will move into the White House, and the exorbitant price tag of becoming an ambassador. Have questions, thoughts, or just want to rant?

We also look back on the tension between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris over the years, including after a 2020 Democratic debate where Kamala pressed Biden on issues of race. Afterward, on a call with supporters, the now-first lady reportedly said, “With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to, you get up there and call him a racist without basis? Go f *** yourself.” Are there things you don’t know that you feel like you should? In this week’s first installment of “Dumb Questions,” V asks Sami to explain what populism is and how the idea has been corrupted over the years. Learn more about your ad choices.
