Dr. JJ (Psychiatrist) and Dr. Domi (Pediatric Anesthesiologist & recovering fashionista) are back after a vacation hiatus with hot takes on medicine, pop culture, travel, the Devil Wears Prada 2 movie review and the Emma Grede hustle culture debate. Buckle up.

0:00 — Intro & Welcome Back
0:46 — **🩺 Doctors Behaving Badly:** A Florida surgeon removed the wrong organ (liver instead of spleen), killed a patient, lost his license, and was later arrested… driving for Uber/Lyft. The ultimate "No Other Skills, MD" moment.
5:35 — **📰 Current Events:** Assassination attempt #3 (or 4?), Aziz Ansari's SNL debut as Kash Patel, and a surprising Long Island connection.
9:00 — **🗺️ Case Report / Travel Diaries:** Dr. Domi hits Carmel with her 14-year-old dog in an e-bike sidecar, parties on a boat in Austin, and explores a surprisingly pristine Mexico City. Dr. JJ reflects on solo world travel and why she'd now hire a travel agent in a heartbeat.
19:58 — **✈️ Travel Hacks:** Points, miles, and the "Physicians to First Class" Facebook group — a non-clinical career hiding in plain sight.
21:36 — **📋 Consults / Second Opinions:** Emma Grede (Good American, SKIMS) drops her book *Start With Yourself* and the internet loses its mind. Hard work, hustle culture, proximity to success — the doctors weigh in.
27:58 — **🎬 The Devil Wears Prada 2 Review:** Dr. Domi caught it in Mexico City (with Spanish subtitles!). Verdict: cute, but too copy-paste. The core audience has seen the original 10 times — stop explaining the jokes.
33:30 — **⚖️ Rant & Rave:** Mifepristone access, telehealth abortion restrictions, and the Supreme Court stepping in — another day in the dictatorship.
35:22 — **Outro & Sign-Off**
