content warning: discussion of controlling relationships

Once again, dear listeners, we have been compelled to listen to the never-ending tale that is the relationship between Claire (Grimes) and Elon Musk after Grimes' latest Vanity Fair article where she inadvertently revealed she had another child amongst other embarrassing defenses of his character and their lifestyle and choices together. Pop culture moments also include Kardashian insensitivity (again).
