CT and KW are back from vacation with new tats, bronzed skin, and the same disdain for mediocre white dudes that you’ve come to know and love. Case in point: the Hotties start this week’s show with a conversation about affirmative action [1:32]. They revisit Becky with the bad grades, discuss the destructiveness of the model minority myth, and speculate about why 45 is pretending to care. Next up? A fresh round of facts, which include (but are not limited to): swim bladders, various Grovers (Cleveland and Sesame), and what’s happening in all our guts *right now* [14:12].

Then the Hotties dive into this summer’s blockbuster comedy smash (#yaaaaaas) Girls Trip and its many gifts – the revelation of Tiffany Haddish and the complexity of black women, black friendship, grapefruiting, iconic booty holes, and so much more [28:23]. Plus, they’ve got hella culture for your involvement [44:42]. Join them, won’t you?
