Summary

Gaby and Mal break down and spill the tea on the problems with Gaby's former job at Buzzfeed in the wake of the BIG scandal that broke this week. Plus, a former guest writes in with hot takes and disagreements on our Dave Ramsey episode, a straight white cis ally wants to thank us for our LGBTQ perspectives, someone has advice for Mal's neck spasms, Eva wants to know if downloading episodes helps the show, Rachel changes her mind about reparations after listening to BWM and Caz graciously dives deep into paradoxes of disability. And lastly, Gaby thinks this ordinary word would be a gorgeous name and Mal is floored ...in a bad way. (More shenanigans as always.)
