Today's cold open ended up taking over the entire episode. What began as a rant against writers using AI to create their novels transforms into a bitch-fest about the state of the US, the outrageous cost of living, and the greedy bastards who are destroying everything for everyone.

We kick today's episode off by giving our take on the Super Bowl and its halftime show. After that, we rage out about intrusive advertisements. This goes on for too long, and right as our madness reaches its peak, we settle down and read a list of the cringiest lines about women written by idiot men.
Dumb fact: today's featured thumbnail image (or regular image if you're seeing this on social media) has been made by the AI slop feature that comes with our WordPress subscription. This is how it interpreted the episode title. TRASH! Imagine how nice it would be if we could ditch the AI crap for a cheaper subscription. Perhaps that will be an upcoming episode topic. What do you all think?
