About this episode

The hosts discuss Emmy nominations, Gen Z's literacy, and a peculiar produce parasite while sharing personal anecdotes.

"Girl, can I catch a ride?" and other things we'd say yes to. This week the girls are getting into the Emmy noms and the shows we're actually watching, why Gen Z might be post-literate, hosting a party that intentionally ended at 10:45pm, and the produce parasite that has us all what fruit was *can* actually eat. So much to say, so little time. Grab a seat, get comfy, and settle in... it's Just Us Girls!
