This week, we talk to musician and enneagram 7, Jonny Barahona (pronounced... beautifully), about what it's like to be the life of the party, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE AND GOING TO KARAOKE AND YOU CAN JUST DEAL WITH IT, CHERYL!! AND IF YOU TELL ME TO GET SOME REST ONE MORE TIME I'M NEVER COMING TO YOUR BACHELORETTE FINALE PARTY AGAIN! PLUS: Remember back when Bethany and Joy Beth decided 2s should NEVER date 4s? Well two can play at that game. Guess what number 7s should never date???? AND: We do some weird stuff, just to mess with Jonny. Silence, Sports, So on. BUT FIRST: The Stairwell Saga. Gripping!
How anyone watches the movies without reading the books and has any idea what's going on, we'll never know. This week, Cousin Kyle joins us again as we delve into the Order of the Phoenix film. Crookshanks eats a GMO ear; we stan Imelda Staunton; the poor Creeveys get smashed into a terrible child named Nigel; Ron's subplots are totally absent; the twins and Dumbledore are out-of-character assholes; and a "giant snake" plagues Harry's dreams. Plus: Remember how there's a Marauders' Map? USE IT!
Wow, did you miss us? One full week without a new episode was probably really hard for you. We’re sorry. We missed you too. To regain your love and trust, we’ve got a gift in the form of this week’s guest, Lukey Walden!! Lukey is a gift because they are good and funny and sweet and we love. They’re telling Rebecca about “CHLOE” and a high school girlfriend setup formed out of pure loneliness and matchmaking friends!! It all becomes tragic because teens lack skills and are also very dramatic and way too trusting. Rebecca is basically out of crush stories so she shares some very bad 8th grade Formspring (sarahah before sarahah) discoveries and a fourth grade email chain letter survey that really encapsulates who she was and who she still is. PLUS: Remember that show Chuck and did you know the guy is Bad now?, anonymous bullying, Rebecca’s teen fan, bisexuality, Grease is actually woke, teens should treat each other like they might come out or transition in the next 10 years, feeling close to danger and NOT being able to handle it and more!!

PUBG's active daily players players took a MAJOR hit for the first time in months dropping from nearly 3.5 million to just around 2.5 million: https://twitter.com/ynakamura56/status/963666762582708224 Meat and Potatoes: Nakamura attributes the drop to player frustration over Chinese players invading North American serves and cheating. Now, that may sound like the rantings of a racist baby if you don't play the game, but it's become a very real issue for PUBG players in NA. Recent data from the company's anti-cheat tech provider, BattlEye indicates that 99% of accounts that have been banned for cheating are from China. Youxi Story also reports that 46% of the game's total players are based in China making the problem hard to address for PUBGCorp. We've already seen one million accounts banned for cheating in January alone and BattlEye says things have “continued to escalate” despite their best efforts to combat the issue. Since being acquired by Tencent, a Chinese server was announced to be on the way, but my question is will this all be enough? Do you think this issue could really affect the longevity of PUBG? Has it affected your own play/enjoyment of the game?

Here comes the next financial crisis: maybe not this week, but eventually—and Republican deregulation, undermining the institutions designed to protect us, will make it much worse.

In a speech in Ohio on Monday, Trump said it was “treason” for the Democrats not to applaud him during his State of the Union speech. Tuesday, his spokesperson said he was just kidding. Joan Walsh says it’s not treason—and he wasn’t kidding. Maybe he was just diverting attention from another issue: what happens if Trump refuses to meet with special prosecutor Robert Mueller?
