Summary

You Rammies asked, and we delivered: the White House wild child herself — Alice Roosevelt. Known for smoking in public, wearing pants, and speeding through D.C. in cars full of boys, Alice lived fast, loud, and unapologetically. Born into great wealth and even greater tragedy, her life was never conventional. At just 17, she swept into the White House and captured the nation’s imagination, becoming America’s first It Girl, and arguably the first influencer. A sharp political mind, a world-class gossip, and a woman who bent every rule to her will, Alice’s spirit is as enviable now as it was over a century ago.

But Lord knows what we were doing. Probably like just trying to flirt and like. Well, it's funny that you say that. Alice is perfect for the flirty girls and the boy crazy girls. We will get into it. She is so ram-coded so I understand why you guys were like begging for her. Oh, I'm so excited. Well, with that being said, what do you know about Alice? I have no idea. She's the great, she's the granddaughter of Teddy Roosevelt? Great granddaughter. She's a daughter. Oh, she's a daughter. She's a daughter. Favorite daughter. Favorite daughter. Yeah, exactly.

But you truly were like, ready to go. Okay. Sorry, guys. It's my tourist nature just to be a little bit defensive, but it always comes at a place of just wanting to protect the pod. Well, of course, of course. And that's what we're all here for anyways. Yes, exactly. Straight men, this isn't for you. Party girls. This episode is for you.
