Intro
The hosts kick off the chapter by discussing their Patreon offerings and reflecting on a recent episode about celebrity feuds. They specifically address Hilaria Baldwin's upcoming book and the inconsistencies with her earlier TV show promises, all wrapped in humor and pop culture insights.
The girlies explore one of the most destructive addictions gripping boyfriends everywhere — gambling. They dive into the history of games of “luck,” its lack of legislation and the unchecked rise of sports betting that is plaguing men today. Digressions include the flop of a film that is Emilia Perez, Hilaria Baldwin’s upcoming book and Julia’s Mohegan Sun journey.
