Summary

Meghan and Miranda kick things off in matching green sweaters (not planned, allegedly) and a confession: Meghan has already ditched fall for full Christmas mode. From early decorations to Rankin-Bass Christmas classics and Elf on repeat, they ask the audience the big question... is it too early for Christmas? Then it’s pop culture time: reviews of Netflix’s Death by Lightning (Nick Offerman and Matthew MacFadyen as Garfield & his assassin), a hate-watch defense of Kim Kardashian’s All’s Fair, a spooky rec for All Her Fault on Peacock, and all the chaos from BravoCon — including Vicki getting her orange back, Lisa Rinna manifesting, and rumors of a Nene/Kim Ultimate Girls Trip. CNN Senior Global Affairs Analyst and author Bianna Golodryga joins to talk about her new book Don’t Feed the Lion and how to actually teach kids to recognize and fight antisemitism. They dig into rising Jew-hatred from both the far right and far left, continued fallout from Tucker Carlson’s softball interview with Nick Fuentes, the grotesque “America First, America Only” cockroach video from Matt Gaetz's producer, AIPAC as a political dog whistle, and why so many institutions still tiptoe around antisemitism. Meghan and Miranda then tackle the Epstein files, Megyn Kelly’s “barely legal” comments about underage girls, and why trying to nuance the age of abuse victims is dangerous and unacceptable.
