  • 2024 Roundup

    2024 Roundup
    Dec 30 2024
    We’ve got a laid back bitch session to close out 2024 for a roundup of hilarious, inspirational, and downright badass bitches to discuss. From Youtubers that make us belly laugh, to Pop Stars and Social Justice icons, we’ve got plenty to celebrate. A session wouldn’t be complete without some darker matters thrown in, like yet another dusty CEO story to remind you why we keep choosing the bear. We end the episode talking about the portals, or “Holy Doors,” being open throughout the Basilicas of Rome by the Pope, and what exactly does it mean? And the real question everyone is curious about, is the Pope opening Lucifer’s tomb?!
