Political commentator and comedy writer Erin Ryan and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco are joined by a bicoastal squad of funny, opinionated women to talk through everything from reproductive rights to romcoms. They break down the political news of the week, plus the topics, trends, and cultural stories that affect women’s lives.
Erin and Alyssa break down airport chaos, from TSA turmoil to ICE’s ominous presence, Ms. Rachel’s fight to free children from detention centers, MAGA’s AI dream girl, and why Meta’s glasses are more dystopian than you think. Then comedian Megan Gailey joins to discuss the polyamory discourse sparked by writer Lindy West. They wrap up in the Sanity Corner with a chat about the WNBA’s new contract, Taylor Sheridan’s oddly addictive new show, and more.
Watch Megan’s special Live From My Driveway when it premieres on March 31st on YouTube.

In our 36th episode of This F*cking Guy, Erin and Crooked Media's Kendra James dive deep into the past of supermodel villain, Naomi Campbell. From her “feud" with Tyra Banks, to her unsavory taste in men, to her laundry list of assault charges, to her murky friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, this may be one of our most hostile, prima donna guys yet.

Erin Ryan and Akilah Hughes dig into the results from Tuesday's primaries, Trump’s Armageddon war in Iran, Hillary Clinton’s Epstein deposition, and the ever-moving goal posts for women in Washington. They also cover a horrifying new law in Kansas targeting trans people, Kristi Noem’s bad day at the Senate, and Politico’s unsettling profile of Nancy Mace. Then Kiran Deol joins for a very petty edition of the Sanity Corner, where they rant and rave about curling, tall men, and revisit a perfect network sitcom that was canceled too soon.
