    The Heated Rivalry Obsession & Recap Bonus Episode

    Hopping on the mini mics for a bonus episode with my sister, Lucy, to recap all things Heated Rivalry and our all-consuming obsession. Some would say it is a fun internet community/cult we've joined and others may say it's unhealthy, but we don't care because it brings us joy!! If you haven't watched Heated Rivalry yet, let this be your sign to go binge the season (only 6 episodes on HBO) and then come listen to this recap. Apologies for the subpar audio quality, but I didn't pack my microphones for our family vacation and simultaneously felt very pulled to do a longer form recap of my love for this show. So here we are!!
