Today, We're Ranting About...

This one goes out to all the Gilmore Girl stans, the ones who rewatch the show the second you feel that extra fall/winter crispness hit the air, the ones who can quote its famously fast lines, who gets the pop culture references, who would die on their Dean or Jess hills. On this week’s episode, we’re chatting with Benny AKA The Gilmore Gay about all things GG and TikTok fame! After that, we get into our books for the week, some of which may or may not have served as a balm to our election anxieties last week. Yaaay, democracy!
