Sami and Jordana are back from the weekend of July 4th and they feel done with work. They talk about the best season for hard work (Is August the worst or July?).

At 18:36 they take a letter from a listener whose bosses are described as "your average Trump voter stereotype" and who is repeatedly made uncomfortable by her boss. Should she leave or put up with the patriarchy? At 28:32, they take another letter from a listener asking about a "friend" in their friend group that cheats on her boyfriend (who's also in the group) and isn't really that good of a friend in any real way.
