    Today we dive into some piping hot takes. But first…Abbey leads off with an absolute batshit banger you don’t wanna miss (shaving someone’s pubes always leaves the door open for batshittery to occur). After we pick our jaws back off the floor, we jump into the meat and potatoes - the hot takes. From airport behavior, to jeans, we rip into some really controversial topics. We end the episode with a really uncomfy dilemma: p*rn blasting through a connected bluetooth speaker. What should this person do?? Listen in to see what we think….
