Dooce, “the original mommy blogger,” wrote a bizarre entry on her website on August 10th that requires a long list of trigger and content warnings for us to even talk about. Also, Tommy Lee posted his meat on Instagram.

We had to cut two segments from our show this week to bring it in at a reasonable length, so if you want to hear why Apple might be firing one of their employees for providing incredible customer service on her TikTok (stopitparis) or why 19 people in Tiffany’s country ordered a crazy looking chicken off TikTok, those segment will be on our Patreon and SolidListen+ this week.

Tommy Lee just posted a full-frontal nude – but why does he get a free pass?

Scientists say there’s a possibility that convicted felons could serve a life sentence in a handful of hours, but somehow it seems worse than just dying in jail. Molly and Brian really dig in to a “kooky modern love story” that played out over Twitter this week and frankly, they resent it. And as always, this is a podcast that’s horny for two things 1) food, 2) disgusting, unapologetic judgement and this week we doubled down.

“My best friend is marrying my ex-boyfriend”

Taylor responds to being named POTY and praises the piece’s author, Sam Lansky: “.@samlansky has such a wondrous way with words, and I’ve loved reading his pieces for over a decade. If you’ve ever been around him, you know he’s just the best type of person: Curious. Interested. Hilarious. Intriguing and intrigued. I have tRuSt iSSueS when it comes to interviews but I couldn’t be happier that I did this one with him. I was blown away to see quotes from people I adore and admire like Stevie Nicks, Greta Gerwig, Shonda Rhimes, Phoebe Bridgers, Natalie Maines, Kenny Chesney, and Lucian Grainge. I was so happy he spoke to fans Madison and McCall who were so eloquent, loyal, and kind. I’m really reflecting on this year, and all the years that led up to it. Can’t say thank you enough times.”
