Erin Ryan and guest host Akilah Hughes lock in and dive deep into the latest Epstein Files dump, following threads between fertility, finances, 4Chan, the FBI, and more. Then they discuss how upcoming entertainment events like the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and the Oscars put athletes and performers in a position they didn’t ask for– but also provide an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed. They wrap up with a petty conversation about Ballerina Farm and the danger of unlearning things we learned more than 100 years ago.
