Samantha and Teenie are running on fumes — between back-to-school chaos, hiding in the shower for an hour of peace, and losing the ability to form full sentences, this episode has it ALL.

Teenie recaps the most beautiful wedding she's ever been to (butter yellow bridesmaids, personalized notes for 100+ guests, Hugo spritzes), while Samantha shares a devastating discovery about dog meat farms that left her questioning everything.

Plus: Teenie's 14-year-old asks a surprisingly deep question about cop cars, we dive into celebrity clone conspiracy theories (Usher? Avril? Britney?!), answer our first "Dear Feral" letter about a 13,000km long-distance situationship, debate why modern country stars can't handle their liquor like 80s rock stars, and so much more.

Grab a Caesar and settle in — this one's a wild ride. 🤍
