CT and KW are back from vacation with new tats, bronzed skin, and the same disdain for mediocre white dudes that you've come to know and love. Case in point: the Hotties start this week's show with a conversation about affirmative action [1:32]. They revisit Becky with the bad grades, discuss the destructiveness of the model minority myth, and speculate about why 45 is pretending to care. Next up? A fresh round of facts, which include (but are not limited to): swim bladders, various Grovers (Cleveland and Sesame), and what's happening in all our guts *right now* [14:12].
Then the Hotties dive into this summer's blockbuster comedy smash (#yaaaaaas) Girls Trip and its many gifts – the revelation of Tiffany Haddish and the complexity of black women, black friendship, grapefruiting, iconic booty holes, and so much more [28:23].

Summertime and life in general have your Hotties QUITE busy this week fam, so they're rebroadcasting one of their VERY favorite episodes, the post election classic "I've Got A Bone To Pick."
Original episode description:
The Hotties get right down to business and start the show by sharing their post-election reactions [1:43-15:08]. There are a lot of stunned silences. It's the darkest timeline, fam. Hold onto your butts. Then, they answer a listener letter about politics in the classroom: if your institution asks you to refrain from classroom politicking, what do you do? And like, what does that even MEAN tbh?? CT and KW have advice [15:20-35:28]. Next, another listener request: the Hotties are talking about Beyoncé at the Country Music Awards [35:40-47:25]. Remember that, y'all??? We were all more innocent then. CT and KW wonder at Bey's body, address the incredibly gay haircut in the room, and explore how the meaning of that performance changed from Nov. 8 to Nov. 9.
Finally, a bit of sunshine! Gilmore Girls is coming back on the 25th and it is just what the doctor ordered [47:36-1:00:03]. The Hotties chat about the trailer (WHY IS KIRK AT DINNER) and reflect on the things they love best about the show. And as usual, CT and KW close the episode with some great, not-at-all election-y things for your involvement.
Join them, won't you? We curse. We use the N-word. If you don't like it, we don't know how to help you.

Strap in friends and family because you are about to experience the recording of CT & KW's VERY FIRST LIVE SHOW! Leading the hour is a chat about summer reading – KW has done more reading for Long John Silvers than perhaps any other person on earth, and CT shares some… interesting highlights of what the kids are reading now [1:35]. They talk about what new books they wish they could have read when they were in 8th and 12th grade, and why they would have been helpful to have. Of course, there was no way they were going to miss a chance to bring you **FACTS LIVE** [10:14].
Do enjoy learning about cells, lakes and much more, this time with audience laughter! With their extra time (learning curve, amirite?) they take some audience questions and discuss how Spotify has, once again, called them a bitch [26:16]. As per usual, they have a Get Involved filled with delights for nearly all your senses [34:58]. Join them, won't you?
