Have you guys stumbled upon these ridiculous food trends on Instagram? We have. And we’ve got some thoughts. Plus we reminisce about summer fairs and for some reason, maybe go a little insane, and Traci attempts to speak Spanish for the entire episode. See how long she lasts.

Summer reading recs part deux! This time it’s kid-centered (but we’re not judging if you read these for yourself). Plus, we share what we hate even though we’re supposed to love them and trends from the ’00s because we’re old and nostalgic.

Happy summer, America (and the rest of the world)! As we reflect on the choices our founding fathers made, we can’t help but think about the decisions our current administration is making. More importantly, the “alternative facts” that are being circulated out in the world. We talk how to combat that and find the truth, plus “guilty pleasures” aka how that isn’t a thing anymore, and summer travel.
