Today’s episode begins with a very long discussion about the perils of buying semi-legal weed in NYC and South Carolina.


We’re here with the incomparable Gita Jackson of Aftermath to discuss Charli XCX, Brat Summer, and the Kamala Harris pop culture moment. Do we keep getting sidetracked? Yes, but it’s an incredible discussion and we do get to Brat and Kamala.


We also get to …


  • Gita’s thoughts on Overwatch 2
  • Faded Japanese snacks in the bodega window
  • Dispensaries with evil auras
  • Girl-boss co-opting
  • Watching a washed president
  • Diet-Coke as slop
  • Politics as fandom, fandom as politics
