    This is not a mirage.  This is real.  A real freaking episode ready for your listening pleasure.  Sure, its been a minute and we needed to take some time for some summer fun.  Kids are back in school and between tennis lessons and carpool we found time to record the best episode you've heard all week. We start off by talking all things Southern Charm.  It's our thing, and we love to discuss this offline so why not take it to the podcast world.  We discuss the cast, the questionable behavior, and what the future holds for this season. We will be dialed in no matter what. Have you heard?  Kim and Pete broke up! Or did they?  We give out hot takes and is there more to the Kardashian machine? Demi Lovato aired more of her personal life on the Call Her Daddy Podcast this week.  Is she being her authentic self? Is Demi just trying to sell her latest album?  CZL dives in.  Enjoy the show!!

    Charmed and Free to Bleed

    We need a new word for salty when referring to this episode.  Wow! We are coming in hot and we make no apologies.  Lots to cover and we jump around a ton.  From tampons to Southern charm, to rebranding Hailey Bieber's new skincare line. We are truly solving all of the world's problems. (Hint: Don't sleep on Venmo scroll.)  We talked about some much nonsense that we didn't even get a chance to cover anything about the Kardashians.  You are welcome.  Enjoy the ride and borderline verbal fireworks.   References for this podcast: Tampon BS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampon_tax https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-28/p-g-worker-shortage-puts-a-third-of-us-tampon-market-at-risk Hailey Bieber getting sued: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/leylamohammed/hailey-bieber-sued-minority-business-skincare-line-rhode Girls Gotta Eat Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-about-abortion-with-dr-meera-shah/id1348777092?i=1000487643503

    Why do we care about the MTV Movie Awards, Shannon watches the Kardashians, the verdict on the verdict

    I between carpools we pop in to see what the hot goss is all about.  It was kind of a slow news week so here are our hot takes on the headlines that peaked our interest the most.  Was anyone else surprised that the MTV movie awards popped up on your feed this week?  Who knew this cooky award show was even still a thing? We give our take on why MTV is bringing back this ancient award show. Selling sunset cast cannot stay out of the news and we are not hating it.  We recently listened to the Call Her Daddy podcast interview with Christine Quinn and it was a bit of a head scratcher.  Is she a villain? Is she still trying to fool all of us? We breakdown the interview today on the pod.  Shannon finally caved and started watching the Kardashians on Hulu this week. We can all breathe a sigh of relief as she attempts to catch up with he rest of the world. She gives us her review and what her biggest "hell yes" and "hard pass" moments are.  The trial of the year has finally concluded and we can all stop talking about vodka bottles and pooping on a pillow.  Can Amber or Jonny recover from this?  This is a super fun episode! Don't forget to share with a friend and like and review.   Enjoy! - Shannon and Brittany
