Nancy and Sarah chat with the charming Bridget Phetasy, host of the podcast Walk-Ins Welcome and the YouTube show Dumpster Fire, her weekly take on the news-and-nonsense cycle. Bridget is ten years sober (tomorrow!), and we revisit her reckless youth with a discussion of her essay, “I Regret Being a Slut.” She also explains how motherhood snuck up in her 40s after she’d come to peace with not having kids. Also discussed:
* What age does the good-time van start to break down?
* The days when Sarah’s first morning question was, “Do I recognize this ceiling?”
* Bridget asks of her daughter, “I have to serve you three meals a day for how long?”
* Why Nancy is the Jane Goodall of sexual encounters
* Bridget coins a term, “wasted womb syndrome,” and no one is happy about it
* On second thought, let’s not smash the patriarchy
* Why do celebrities go from making movies to making tequila? Hint: it’s the money
* We don’t want to close our eyes to the horrors in Israel and Gaza, but when does bearing witness tilt over into rubbernecking?
* Are buffaloes kind of sexy?
* The most underrated season of The Wire
