## Resource

This week we’re reporting live from a podcast setup held together by missing cords, TSA humiliation, and the unwavering belief that maybe one day we’ll record an episode without technical difficulties. 🎙️✨ We’re recapping California weekends, is Maddy actually a Type C traveler, suburban cul-de-sac potlucks, signature egg rolls, suspiciously wholesome neighbor massages, and why mahjong is apparently a sober sport. We also spiral into ADHD medication shortages in Australia, Restaurant Week recs, Thai food obsessions, influencer restaurant traps, and the deeply traumatic experience of Maddie trying her first McDonald’s chicken nugget… We also get into TikTok’s “50 Day Bender” girl, brutal creator algorithms, forgotten Uber Eats sauces, Sports Illustrated cover discourse, Fourth Wing finally getting its adaptation, Love Island casting chaos, Summer House betrayal analysis, and why people need to stop attacking Amanda’s reunion dress.Plus , “He’s/She's/they's a 10 but…” returns! Come hungry, come nosy, and as always, leave fed, taste buddies!
