Summary

This episode is depicting women correctly, listener! Halie Torris is an oil painter and visual artist whose incredibly detailed work you’ve seen go viral on TikTok/IG, but today she’s in the apartment to paint YOU like one of her French girls!

Ashley is combating the manosphere. Lizzy’s sex gets a little bit too wet.
