    June Bonus: Ultraprocessed Foods Go To Washington

    This month we're talking about the increasing calls for public health experts to align with RFK Jr. to define and regulate "ultraprocessed foods." Not necessarily in that order.

    Salt

    In the 1980s, a low-sodium diet was seen as the gold standard for healthy behavior. In 2026, salt has been repackaged as “electrolytes” and is now cast as a core component of wellness. How did we get here? Also, an important correction: One pound of butter to one pound of potatoes is Joel Robuchon’s recipe.

    May Bonus: Taste-Testing Bella Hadid, Khloe Kardashian and Mr. Beast

    Spring has sprung, the flowers are in bloom and the influencers are back on their bullshit. This month, we're digging in on influencer-led wellness brands that are suddenly everywhere: Unwell (Alex Cooper), Khloud Protein Popcorn (Khloe Kardashian), Kin Euphorics (Bella Hadid) and Lunchly (Mr. Beast). That means we're back to sipping on dumb bitch juice (adaptogens and protein powder).

    April Bonus: Aubrey Explains "Vanderpump Rules"

    By popular request, we're spending some quality time with some quality nonsense. This month, Aubrey walks Mike through the trash and magic of a beloved and long-running reality show. Apologies for Aubrey's audio this episode! We had some technical issues and used a backup recording, so things sound a little tinnier this episode.
