We chat a bit about downtown NYC doyennes from our era, especially Amanda Lepore and her distinctive lewks. Things heat up while we discuss Balenciaga's twin controversial recent ad campaigns, and no, Ye is not even involved in either of them. For our feature discussion, we evaluate new AI image software, which can turn you into the fairy queen of your fantasies, and ChatGPT, the new writing AI that is primed to disrupt everything from college essays to marketing copy.

Jen starts at 110% as she is urged to get up close to her mic. We have some serious discussion about the recent spate of US mass shootings but also consider whether Ian McKellen is a Shakespeare genius or hack. To get a fresh perspective on global affairs, Kim recommends the wild Chinese anti-US propaganda action film Wolf Warrior II. Today's topic is listless billionaires trying to increase their lifespan by eating the same sludge every single day – are you ready to be spooned today's serving of nutty sludge?

After a preamble on Camilo's nose "job", we enjoy Kim's tale of visiting the Mount Gay Rum distillery in Barbados. A discussion on Iran's prolific homemade booze reveals the conflict between religious dogmatists and the country's freedom-loving youth. Our segment focuses on Cindy Crawford hiring a midlife coach, leading us to explore what kind of wealth symbol a sunak is and how to really address your own mortality. Episode cringe factor: 4.2/11

Since it's another AM record, morning mucus takes center stage. We do a quick movie catch up with Jen extolling the sexy virtues of 1982's Cat People. After quizzing ourselves on the Wonders of the Ancient World, Kim & Camilo reminisce about their great Halloween costumes of yore while Jen remembers being... 'Turtle Girl'. This episode's main topic is a Top 15 list of what someone our age should be doing to keep their mind sharp. Since none of us manage to add up how many items on the list we actually do, we clearly have our work cut out for us. Episode cringe factor: 8.3/11

Another half-baked one but not really! On the eve of Camilo's departure for his beloved homeland, Espania, we talk about the massive flop that is 'Bros' and if homosexuals were obligated to go and see Billy Eichner's rom-com.  Kim schools us on currency and Jen admits she loved the much-maligned 'Blonde'. And all three of us try to remember if there was a movie from our childhood that we hated and "triggered" us and since Camilo has no heart, he can only come up with childhood classic,  E.T. Jen and Kim do not agree. The Gen X-factor on this episode is high, like a 10.
