HELLO! MAN OH MAN ARE WE HAPPY TO BE BACK!

And HELLOOOO to Thursday, you fresh, sexy day! So glad we could make it! What a delight! What a time! What a year!

On today’s show: A big ‘ol recap of the stories that dominated this summer and boy do we have a show for you. From Hilaria Baldwin’s Spanish controversy, to Armie Hammer’s deer heart ways, and Olivia Rodrigo’s viral chart-topping song - we’re covering every story we missed over the break.

This week, Mich had a few watch recs! The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix, Bump on Stan, and of course, Bridgerton on Netflix. Zara recommended you read Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld, The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett, and Pachinko by Min Jin Lee.
