    It’s Not About the Iranian Yogurts *TEASER*

    The girlies venture back into the depths of Reddit to uncover some shocking relational horrors — a boyfriend who buys breast milk on Facebook marketplace, a husband with a secret Rag, a guy who moans his own name during sex, and more. Digressions include a lengthy preamble about the incoming Baldwinito reality show and how America is poisoning us all.

    Disco is Dead (Because of Woke)

    Disco is Dead (Because of Woke)

    The girlies welcome the summer months by investigating a most troubling query: why is nobody partying anymore? We used to rave in underground warehouses and dance all night at Studio 54, now we stand in line for hours to be bored at the club clutching a vodka soda. They try to get to the bottom of what went wrong by looking back — from the invention of the gas lamp that made dancing all night a possibility to the disco demolition that brought in a regressive wave against dance music. Plus, the very first Binchtopia listener survey! Digressions include a disturbing trend of BORGtopia and the birth of Binchtopia HQ.

    Be Mindful of Why You Were Invited to the U-BOX

    The girlies return to form with a chatty episode, catching you up on the horrors that have befallen their personal lives during their consecutive moves. After falling down the stairs (twice!) being bedridden with pain and beyond the hope of D-Mannose, leaving half a house in Los Angeles, and crying in the emergency veterinarian's office and on the plane, finally, they have both landed safely in New York to pod all about it.

    Bad Book Club: Great Value Gone Girl *TEASER*

    The girlies are back with another treat from Colleen Hoover, who bravely asked the question: what if the villain could also suck dick? They review Verity, a crime thriller made up of another pick-me from loser academy, a strange house in the woods, and (did we mention?) PLENTY of blowjobs.

    Richard Nixon...WOMP WOMP

    The girlies pick up the story of marijuana where they left off in the 1960’s, exploring how weed evolved from America’s enemy to capitalism’s sweetheart. They discuss the student protestors who lit up for peace, the drug war collab between Nixon and Reagan, how the cops convinced kids to snitch on their parents, and more! Digressions include an exciting geographical announcement, a two year old who can’t read, and Nancy Reagan off the percs.
