In this jam-packed episode, Abbey Blue Eyes, Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada kick off with Fourth of July plans, stories from the Lakeland meetup, and debates about fireworks, pool days, and vodka-soaked jello shots. The crew shares hilarious moments from Deadwood prep, including plans for custom cowboy hats and Jackie’s America-shaped ravioli.

They also dive into a thought-provoking discussion on modern feminism, exploring whether the movement’s promises of empowerment have actually left women more isolated and disillusioned. Ashe breaks down the biblical model of the Proverbs 31 woman, and the panel debates how to balance traditional family roles with personal freedom. In between, they cover the science of frisson, those goosebumps when a song hits just right, and swap clips of music that move them to tears. From possum trivia to childhood Mary Poppins programming, this episode is equal parts heart, humor, and cultural critique.
