Fart Gate, the Second Wife Economy, and Learning Personal Boundaries

This week, Cait and Em cover everything from $1,000 theatre outings and elite family vacation strategy (built-in kids club, obviously) to the deeply unserious state of Canadian politics—yes, including Fart Gate. Caitlin wins a CBC comedy panel (as she should), Emily pitches a documentary on Anne Hathaway’s press tour (greenlit in our minds), and together we unpack why women are now… quietly managing their husbands’ job searches.Also on the docket: billionaires buying forests (a win? a warning?), gambling apps turning your phone into a casino, AI morphing into a Stepford wife, and a caterpillar that wears dead bugs as an outfit (nature is healing, sort of). We end, as always, with friendship drama, emotional labor, and the radical act of saying: I can do this.It’s silly, it’s smart, it’s slightly unhinged—and yes, the girls are still dressed the same.Shownotes:SNL UKwomen are doing their husband's job searchesnoami klein interview w/ ezra kleinavi lewis new head of NDPa good billionaire?
