About this episode

Mimi and Wonne navigate a week of grief and humor, discussing topics from pizza debates to the realities of dating unprotected in Milwaukee.

In this high-energy and deeply personal episode, Mimi and Wonne return to navigate a week marked by both grief and humor. The duo kicks off with a lighthearted debate over thin-crust pizza and the nostalgia of birthday freebies before shifting to a somber tribute to Mimi’s late aunt, a famously "pro-black" figure who passed away on MLK Day. The conversation takes several sharp turns, covering everything from the absurdity of AI-generated Rampage Jackson videos to a viral PSA from a local figure about the "dirty" reality of dating unprotected in Milwaukee. Between discussions on "grief sex" , the YMCA's lyrical subtext, and the struggle of hosting a website on GoDaddy, the hosts deliver their signature blend of raw honesty and "demon time" wit.
