• Anna and Lauren kick it off by discussing things they find "the worst" that are just petty - like dirty sinks and construction too close to car washes.
• Then, they discuss a recent episode of Pantsuit Politics that Anna listened to that triggered a memory of study findings that found that women, in general, have less hope for the future of America.
• Anna and Lauren explore why that might be, through the lens of the issues discussed in the Pantsuit episode. Could it be the growing misogyny that women are dealing with in the United States?
