The Hot Takes are BACK and somehow even spicier.
In this second chaotic, hilarious, absolutely-unfiltered round, Dr. Erin and Dr. Sarah dive into everything from Venmo's weird social feed to tipping culture to why your underarm "side boob" deserves love too.

This episode is pure comedy: a mix of true confessions, dentist-surgeon logic, perimenopause chaos, and autocorrect gone deeply, deeply wrong.

So buckle up, this episode is one worth watching, not just listening, because the facial expressions alone carry half the comedy.
