## Resource

In this episode, we recap this week's pop culture news. Join us as we (hopefully, prayerfully, allegedly) put the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively legal saga to bed, weigh the deeply chaotic merits of Spencer Pratt’s mayoral ambitions, and break down the hits and misses of The Bear’s surprise episode. Plus, Jamie comes in hot with an epic Rapid Red Lights.
