Richard Simmons, Shannen Doherty, Dr. Ruth Westheimer... and more celebrities from our youth passed away in the last few days. What does that say about us? Are we not long for this world?

In this episode, Don and Eva discuss how they feel when a beloved or at least well-known celebrity from their formative years passes away. From the nostalgia of childhood memories to the sobering reality of their own mortality, they discuss how these moments can profoundly impact us - or not. Why does the loss of a public figure feel so deeply personal? Whether you're grappling with recent news or simply curious about this unique aspect of human connection, this is an episode that you will want to chat about with your friends and family.

So your daughter wants to be a white girl, but she is unmelanated. Your son wants to be a rapper, but you don't see that as a viable career path. What do you do? On this episode, Don and Eva discuss the right and wrong ways to support your child's endeavors when you don't agree with their... ahem... uh... Validity? Viability? Sensibility? Yeah. One of those.

What made Marjorie Taylor Green think she could come for Rep Jasmine Crockett and survive? Did we learn nothing from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef? *sigh* In this bonus episode, we talk about our experiences with people writing checks their 🍑 can't cash, and getting publicly eviscerated.

We mention a very funny human that you should check out online and in person. Here is his Instagram - Maronzio Vance Instagram

We know him as Don's former roommate who proved that you don't have to be a celebrity to be roasted for two-hours straight. You know him as an actor and comedian who has starred alongside George Lopez, and written for some of your favorite shows. If you get a chance to see him live, do that.
