Summary
This week, Kate recaps the first two weeks of 2020 day by day, but not before a necessary discussion about Coach Monica and the amazingness of Netflix's new show "Cheer." After that, starting with Jan 1, Kate looks at the Google search trends of each day of the year so far and goes over pop culture's biggest events in 2020. Including (but not limited to) the Pope's slap, Raddix Madden, Jillian Michaels vs. Lizzo, Karlie Kloss on Project Runway, to TikTok's interpretation of WWIII, the Coachella lineup, Pilot Pete's season of The Bachelor, the out of touch Golden Globes, Adele & co in Anguilla, an orphan Annie tangent, bad red carpet coverage, her frustrations with MLMs, and thoughts on the tweet about "letting people live in 2020." Last but not least, she reviews Harry & Meghan's announcement to step down as senior members of the royal family and goes over their statements on financials, media coverage, and the Queen's response. Enjoy!

| 0:15.1 | It's January 13th, 2020, 13 days into this new year, and I know I had an episode last |
| 0:21.9 | week, but I recorded majority of that in the year prior. |
| 0:27.1 | And this is the first one where we're talking about what's gone on so far. |
| 0:32.0 | And like, a pump, the breaks, 2020, it is like, what is happening? |
| 0:37.7 | I like, it's been a real experience, and I can't even believe we're just shy of two |

| 1:09.3 | And I think like, I don't know, for me, big 2020 energy was like sitting in bed watching |
| 1:14.8 | the Golden Globes be utterly out of touch, while also not being in, you know, full knowledge |
