Fun fact: If you burn your thumb while lifting a hot pot, the pad of it will go slightly numb, which makes scrolling on your phone even easier. That's one trick Molly learned while cooking Thanksgiving last week. The galz are back after the holiday weekend to talk about the TV they binged (#SquidGameTheChallenge, anyone?) and the movies the consumed (Lil Rel, everyone?)
Plus, we've got stories about CM Punk returning once again to professional wrestling, Derek Chauvin's Black Friday in the prison ER, Dave Portnoy's surprising split from model Silvana Mojica, and two friends whose lame drama surrounding a boyfriend, a hoodie, and a sandwhich inspired a spirited debate on Twitter (no, we're still not going to call it X).
