14.36: Behind the Geeks

It’s a two-host ride with Susan and Cort this week while Kelly is on assignment. With no adult supervision, things get a little chaotic (in the best way). From cultural commentary and media clapbacks to in-depth TV talk and soap obsession, we’ve got it all. Come for the rants, stay for the joy—and a healthy dose of fun bullshit. Here’s what’s cookin’:

News & Commentary

[00:00:00] – We get real about American international travel vibes, selfish individualism vs. the collective “we”, and the importance of joy in dark times. Plus, Cort drops wisdom about emotional survival online.

Recommendations

[00:05:00] – Mike White’s spicy White Lotus quotes, Coffee Mate conspiracy, and Reality Gays explain edging (we’ll let them handle that one). Plus, a shoutout to the genius White POTUS SNL sketch.

Main Topic: Soaps & Storylines

[00:28:00] – Soap Corner takes center stage as Cort and Susan go deep into Beyond the Gates. We’re talking unhinged villains, legacy casting, wild wig reveals, and shady secrets. Danny’s redemption, Ted’s downfall, and May Sweeps predictions? It’s all here. Plus, a side of General Hospital nostalgia and a dash of Midnight Mass appreciation.

Coming Next Week

[01:02:00] – Maybe we’ll (finally) get into Midnight Mass when Kelly’s back. Expect more resurrection, repentance, and maybe a haunted White Lotus pitch?
