Happy annual love time, listeners! We are so happy to back in your earholes to discuss the ridiculous early 2000s film Maid in Manhattan. This one had us asking a lot of tough questions, such as: why is a 10 year old obsessed with Richard Nixon? How does a Latina maid fall in love with a Republican senate candidate in 1 week? Why is a random average-looking county assemblyman devastatingly famous? We don't get answers, but we do have some laughs.

In part 2 of our 3-part series, we cover Michael Cohen's involvement in abracadabra'ing the Fernandez lawsuit (and his inconsistent statements surrounding it), Jerry's controversial endorsement of Donald Trump for president, and the hypocrisy of the Falwells acting against their own university's code of conduct.

In part 1 of this 3-part series, we cover the initial meeting between Giancarlo Granda and the Falwells (Becki and Jerry) in 2012 and how a sexual encounter turned into financial burdens, real estate investment blunders, and a whole lot of blackmail. Mae said it best: "You could've just been weird adults and instead you had to make it worse".

This week we are covering some of the most plaguing reality TV we've ever seen. The DC season of Love Is Blind really had it all, from unlikeable characters and failed engagements to cheating and hidden children. We can't make this stuff up, y'all.
