Confessionals and Congressionals – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week we recap the FINALE of Season 2 of The Valley. It's Jax's official last episode and he's STILL not sober. We are relieved but not suprrised to see Nia and Danny have made it out their reputation intact. We cry with Kristen as she navigates her fertility journey, but we are SO happy that it all worked out for her.

In the words of Scheana Shay, It's All Happening.

This week we talk about all the headlines that got our attention! We've got the cowboys of McBee Ranch on our mind as we heard the news - Jr is single! We talk about the idea that people feel entitled to know details about influencers lives, and of course, Scheana Shay's new article dropped this week and we have thoughts.

This week: Israel Bombs Iran, Trump and Elon have made up, Governor Newsom is crushing Trump and we smile, and Senator Padilla was tackled by the FBI for asking a question .

We talk about the No Kings protests that happened nationwide, with up to 15 million people protesting Trump and this administration’s policies. Plus, what we know about the two lawmakers in Minnesota who were shot in their homes by a man posing as a police officer. Also, Trump V Newsom continues to escalate as Newsom attacks Trump and we cheer because at least SOMEONE on the left is doing something.

We’ve got everything you missed this week, plus some pop culture headlines feat. Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and more.

This week, we’re recapping The Valley episode 8 — and things are getting weird. Jax pops back in, and honestly? We’re officially freaked the eff out. The Janet drama is spiraling (again), and we have thoughts.

Plus, we’re breaking down the pop culture headlines that stopped us mid-scroll: there’s a ruling in the Justin Baldoni v. Blake Lively case, and are Mila and Ashton actually separated? Let’s get into it.

Thanks for listening — we love ya.

This week, Harvard’s not backing down in its fight against the Trump administration, Elon’s making headlines — and the “Big Beautiful Bill” may be hiding more than just budget cuts. We’re breaking down the Supreme Court’s move on tariffs, the truth behind DOGE’s so-called savings, and what Elon actually cut to get there.

Plus: Gaza ceasefire updates, Jake Tapper’s new book dominating CNN coverage, and the COVID vaccine funding rollback. From pop culture spin to political power grabs — we’re unpacking what’s real, what’s noise, and what it all means.

This week on the pod: In our pop culture catch-up, we unpack the latest from the Diddy civil trial and the unexpected name-drop of Britney Spears. Cass grieves the Swifties’ heartbreak over Taylor’s AMAs snub, and we dig into the Give Them Lala episode where Brittany finally shares more about that Ring camera footage we still haven’t seen.

We dive into The Valley episode 7, where our collective nightmare materializes—Jax is back, broadcasting from rehab with those all-too-familiar “I’ve changed” monologues. (We’ve heard this one before). Meanwhile, we’re genuinely thrilled to see Brittany standing firm, surrounded by love, support, and hopefully, a lawyer. #FreeBrittany

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND ASK THEM TO OPPOSE THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL. https://5calls.org/

This week we recap some pop culture headlines that have us worried for some of our favorite childhood stars. Justin Bieber’s weird Mother’s Day post, bizarre performance with SZA, a sketchy welcome-back to Chris Brown, and… is he broke? Meanwhile, Britney Spears is apologizing for lighting up on a plane with a incoherent rant on Instagram.

On the political front, we break down Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which just passed the House by one vote. It’s a brutal attack on Medicaid, SNAP, and working families—so yes, we’re mad. Also: student visa chaos, Education Department layoffs, FEMA aid denied, and more corruption than we can fit in one breath.

Call your senators. Keep resisting!

This week we recap The Valley Season 2, Episode 6. Another week without Jax is another week Lauren is happy, but the topic of discussion is about whether a new villian has emerged.

We also catch up on some pop culture news featuring MORE Justin Baldoni v Blake Lively.
