An article in the Boston Globe asks a big question: Why are so many young, ambitious women suddenly convinced a woman's natural place is in the home? Liz brings the highlights, and the gang unpacks the tension between ambition and contentment with plenty of laughs.

But first! Rick shares a text exchange with a woman from the Boston comedy scene who was outraged—outraged—that he didn’t book a single woman on his last show. What a misogynistic monster, right? Rick gives his side of the story (including the fact that he invited five women) so you can decide whether he’s the villain… or just caught in someone else’s outrage spiral.

Also, it’s Christmas time, which means one thing: you can put up your tree before Thanksgiving without society judging you. Evan’s ready, Liz has opinions, and Rick’s already tangled in lights.

All that and more on this week’s Small Town Scuttlebutt.
